Beijing Ming Dynasty City Wall Relics Park is one of the top-quality parks in Beijing. It is located 3 kilometers from the center of the city, between the southeast turret and Chongwen Gate in the west. It is a scenic spot of ancient architectural relic. It was open to the public in 2002.

The Ming City Wall, first built over 580 years ago, in 1419, or the 17th year of Emperor Yongle's reign in the Ming Dynasty, used to run about 40 kilometers. The remaining relic, which is about 1.5 kilometers long, used to be part of the inner city wall of Beijing. It is the longest section of the city wall remains in the city, and an important symbol of Beijing.

To preserve the scene of the ancient capital and provide better cultural environment for citizens in the area, the municipal party committee and the municipal government decided to build a Ming city wall relic park by renovating the wall without destroying its weather-beaten look and tidying up its surroundings. The project was launched on Nov. 25, 2001. By Sept. 2002, when its main part was completed, the 1,540-meter-long city wall had regained its grandeur.

The design of the park aims at classical simplicity, with over 70,000 square meters of lawns, 110,000 flowers, over 400 large arbors such as Chinese pines and Chinese scholar trees, and over 6,000 shrubs. Pipelines of 28,000 meters have been installed; lighting devices have been installed for the wall, lawns, over 10,000 square meters of roads, paths, and corridors, and the square. Several sights of interest with themes reflecting the appearances of the wall relic and special qualities of landscaping, such as Old Trees and Ming Walls, Stroll among Broken Walls and New Charm of Ancient Tower, have been designated to fully display the cultural and historical elements of the Ming city wall.

In 2003 the park underwent stage II landscaping, which added more variety to the plants. Over 300 arbors and shrubs, such as ginkgos, peaches, apricots, crape myrtles, goldenrain trees, magnolias, and over 100,000 flowers (such as marigolds and morning glories) and perennial-root flowers (such as fleur-de-lis and day lilies) have been planted. As a result, a number of distinctive scenic spots, such as Century-old Carriage Track, Sea and Hills, Purple Jade, Mountain Apricot, and Pagoda Trees Protecting the City Wall.

Since it was officially opened to the public, the park receives nearly 200,000 tourists from home and abroad each year. In Oct. 2002, President Jiang Zemin paid a visit to it, and expressed great satisfaction with Beijing's efforts to protect cultural relics, the appearance of the ancient capital, and improving the surroundings of people's homes.

Beijing Grand View Garden is located beside the South 2nd Ring Road in Xuanwu District, and is five kilometers from Tiananmen Square.

It used to be the location of the vegetable garden for the imperial family in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In 1983, for shooting TV play series of Dream of the Red Chamber (a classical Chinese novel), the classical garden, which covers 130,000 square meters, was built here according to descriptions in the novel in terms of the layout, hills and streams, configuration of plants, plaques and couplets. On Sept. 30, 1986 it was officially opened to the public as a park. It is a large-scale spot of cultural interest that combines the design of a classical garden, the culture represented by the novel, and facilities of a museum.

In the garden there are pavilions, towers, temples, courtyards, flowers, precious plants, cranes, and deer. It has over 40 scenic spots, such as Tortuous Path Leading to Seclusion, Merry Red Courtyard, Xiaoxiang House, and Homecoming Villa. The first one is a rockery of Taihu rocks named by Jia Baoyu (one of the main characters in the novel) after a line from a Tang poem. It lies just after the south main gate, in keeping with a principle of designing a classical Chinese garden. The implication is that only by following the winding path could you appreciated the secluded beauty of the garden. It also serves to screen the scenery behind it from visitors. Yihong (Merry Red) Courtyard, where Jia Baoyu lived, is the most richly decorated courtyard in the garden. Above the gate hangs a plaque that says “merry red and green”; “red” refers to the Chinese crab apples on the west of the gate, and “green” refers to the bananas on its east. Xiaoxiang House is Lin Daiyu's residence. It is decorated with bamboo patterns, which, associated with a tragic legend, symbolizes Lin's sentimental character. The Homecoming Villa, the principal part of the garden, was the place where Concubine Yuan met her family. The 8-meter-high, 11-meter-wide stone gateway is grand and magnificent. Behind the main hall is Grand View Tower and two wing towers, one on the east and the other on the west. The whole courtyard of the villa exudes an imperial majesty.

Every year, from the 1st to the 6th day of the Spring Festival, a Red Chamber Temple Fair is held in the garden. It features performances, folk flower fair, local snacks, and folk custom programs. A standing specialty at the fair is the costume procession named Concubine Yuan's Homecoming. For three or four days starting from the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, evening shows are held in the garden to celebrate the Moon Festival. Major activities include performances, appreciation of the moon, and night view of the city.
