Bussière Garden, Beijing

Bussière Garden combines granite architecture with traditional Chinese elements, including ponds, fountains, stone bridges, and carefully selected tree species.

French physician Jean-Augustin Bussière established this garden in the early 20th century while practicing medicine at Peking Union Medical College for 41 years.

The garden features three distinct sections: a Western-style barbican, a Chinese northern wing for meetings, and a residential southern wing.

The garden, protected as a cultural heritage site since 2001, underwent complete renovation in 2014 during the 50th anniversary of China-France relations.

During World War II, British agents used the garden's location to transfer powerful telegraph transmitters to Communist Party forces in Yan'an.
