This afternoon, 13 of us went to Beihai Park (Chinese: 北海公园; Pinyin: Běihăi Gōngyuán), an imperial garden northwest of the Forbidden City in Beijing.
It was initially built in the 10th century, and is a typical Chinese garden. Before the end of the Qing Dynasty in 1911, this area was part of the Forbidden City. However since 1925, it is open to the public.
The Park has an area of more than 700,000 m², with a water area that covers more than half of the entire Park.
Here are few shots taken this afternoon.

The last picture was taken in an area called Hou Hai, a place full of restaurants, cafes, and bars. There is a lake in the middle of the area called Hou Hai Lake. We went there to eat at a pizza parlour. It was somewhere on the corner, I don’t think I’ll be able to find it again myself. LOL! The pizza was nice though.. humm…
