Lvdi Park (绿堤公园)

Adjacent to the West 5th Ring Road, Lvdi Park is located on the banks of Yongding River in Fengtai District, covering about 105 hectares.

With green areas amounting to more than 95%, the park, for the first time, introduced many rare plant species, such as Pennisetum, calamagrostis epigeios, achnatherum splendens, etc. Self-driving tourists can pass down Beijing-Shijiazhuang Expressway and come off at the exit of the West 5th Ring Road.

The Yongding river area used to be one of the five major sources of sandstorms in Beijing. In the 1990s, there littered sand and gravel fields, which contaminated natural environment along the banks of the river. At the beginning of the 21st Century, the sand and gravel fields were gradually shut down, followed by greening projects. More than ten large-scale voluntary tree planting bases have been established, which has greatly improved the natural environment and well curbed sand storms. This has greatly improved the surroundings of the Yongding River. Furthermore, Lvdi Park connects the ancient Wanping city and Lugou Bridge, forming pleasant eco-landscapes and paving way for ecological tourism.
