Yuan Dadu City Wall Ruins Park

Yuan Dadu City Wall Ruins Park is a landscaped green space featuring preserved wall sections from when Mongol rulers controlled Beijing. A long walking path connects multiple districts and follows where the ancient city boundary once stood.

The wall was built in 1267 under Mongol rule and marked the northern edge of the empire's capital. It was abandoned after a new dynasty took control in 1368 and built their own city elsewhere.

The park displays sculptures of people from the Yuan Dynasty that you encounter while walking through the grounds. These figures help visitors understand who lived during this period and what roles they held.

The park is easy to walk through with clear paths along the old walls and open spaces to explore. Spring and autumn offer the most pleasant weather for a visit, though the site is accessible year-round.

The grounds contain a large artificial wetland with water plants and local vegetation that softens the historical ruins. This type of water system is uncommon in urban archaeological parks.
