Grand Canal Forest Park, Urban forest park in Tongzhou New Town, Beijing, China

The Grand Canal Forest Park encompasses 713 hectares, including 166 hectares of water surface and 546 hectares of green spaces along the North Canal section.

The park received UNESCO World Cultural Heritage status in 2014 as part of the Grand Canal system that served Chinese transportation for centuries.

The park incorporates traditional Chinese design principles with its layout of one river, two belts, six major scenic spots, and eighteen minor scenic spots.

Visitors can explore 6 kilometers of paths on each side of the river, with wider trails on the west side and access points at Taoliu Scenic Area.

The park combines water features with plant landscapes under the design concept 'green as the body, water as the soul' to create sustainable urban spaces.
