Jingyun Garden Pocket Park
With the embellishment of pine trees, bamboo, and flowers, a large landscape stone stands in the middle, with the five golden characters "Birthplace of Peking Opera" engraved on it. This is Jingyun Garden.
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the three major Hui opera troupes of Sanqing, Chuntai, Sixi, and Hechun successively came to Beijing to perform. During this period, they all stayed near Dashilan. Here, they constantly exchanged and integrated with other opera genres and eventually formed Peking Opera. Jingyun Garden, a pocket park transformed from the vacant space on the west side of Ji Xiaolan"s former residence, is antique and full of the traditional artistic charm of Beijing dialect and Peking Opera.
There are more residents who come here for leisure activities in the morning and evening, and there are often a few sounds of opera, full of Beijing flavor!
People who have visited Jingyun Garden will leave with a new understanding of Peking Opera. Because every scenery, every plant, seems to be telling the story of its origin with Peking Opera.
