Chinese Culture Garden

The Chinese Culture Garden opened in September 2001, 500 meters from the Langfa Exit of the Fifth Ring Road and about 18 kilometers from downtown Beijing, and is a theme park focusing on spreading Chinese culture and strengthening patriotism education. The Chinese Cultural Garden occupies an area of 333,000 square meters. Its south gate is in the shape of a tripod and its west gate is in the shape of a “Pingshouqiaozububi Coin”. Its east gate is a dynamic sculpture, combining Qufu Colored pottery basins and pottery Gui, which represent the cultural image of the garden. The scenery can be summed up with the words “one spirit and three gardens”. One spirit refers to the Artistic Wall representing the Chinese spirit and the three gardens the Tranquil Garden, Dynamic Garden and Yixian Garden. History, important events, famous figures, cultural achievements, discoveries and inventions are engraved on the “Artistic Wall displaying China’s spirit” 2.4 meters in height and 2.3 kilometers in length. Standing in front of the wall, one will feel awe whilst facing and talking about history, and the spirit of the Chinese ancients.

The “Tranquil Garden” occupies an area of 62,000 square meters. There is a lake of 15,000 square meters in the garden. There is a unique “Dragon Character Wall” together with the tranquil garden. The word “dragon” as written by 999 calligraphers is engraved on the expansive walls. The garden also includes the Lucky Deer Turning Round, Wenyuan Palace, Bamboo Garden, Cultural Corridor, Music Fountain, and the open air theatre in the “Dynamic Garden”. Yixian Garden is composed of Crescent Lake and 12 ancient quadrangles. The Chinese Culture Garden inherits the characteristics of ancient royal gardens whilst incorporating the style of modern gardens. The regular themed activities of the garden include “sunshine travel in search of the Chinese spirit” in spring, “dating in fields” in summer, and “historical travels in China” in autumn. Tourists can ride electric bicycles to enter the garden, view the history and scenery, and appreciate Chinese culture.
