Located just to the northwest of the Forbidden City, Beihai Park was once the winter palace for emperors. The two things not to be missed here is the park and the city around it. The city has a jade vase which is said to be the only thing which left from the rulers during the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. The park is also host to a large lake, the biggest and prettiest lake in Beijing. Almost two-third of the park is the lake. Tourist can hire a boat to travel along the lake. Apart from the lake, the major attractions are the temple of Eternal Peace, the 9 Dragon Screen and the White Pagoda. For the tourist who would like to try some traditional food is the Fangshan restaurant where people can eat the food served to the Qing dynasty.
