Chengzeyuan, Cultural heritage site in Haidian District, China.
Chengzeyuan is a garden featuring traditional Chinese architecture with pavilions, courtyards, and planted areas arranged according to classical design principles. The layout connects pathways, water features, and greenery with stonework and structures in a composed arrangement.
The site was built during the Yuan Dynasty and served as a meeting place for merchants and scholars outside Beijing's Inner City. Over time, it has remained a record of the garden culture from that era.
The garden shows how traditional Chinese design brings buildings and nature together to create spaces where people walk and reflect. Visitors can experience how each courtyard and pavilion guides them through different moods and perspectives.
The garden sits in a residential area and is accessible by multiple bus routes with stops near the entrance. Plan time to explore the different sections slowly and use the pathways that connect between courtyards.
The site is located within the Xueyuanlu Community, which received an International Safe Community certification in 2012. This recognition indicates the neighborhood prioritizes safety and resident wellbeing.
