As someone who loves Dream of the Red Chamber, I loved this park! It was so interesting to get a better idea of what the locations in the book were like (even if they were really different to how I imagined!) I definitely recommend it if you're a fan of the book and it's a nice place to go even if you're not …

On August 1st I visited the garden to see lotus flowers. As the lotus flowers open early in the morning and close by mid-day, we arrived there a few minutes before the ticketing office opened.

Came here as part of a tour of the Forbidden City and other parts of Beijing. It is interesting, and with a guide you can understand the gardens and their purpose well. However, I definitely think it would have been better to go to other attractions in the city like the Summer Palace.…
