The planned area of Lotus Pond Park is 446,100 square meters, with a lake area of 150,000 square meters and a green area of 245,000 square meters. In the summer when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, the park has a beautiful scenery of "the lotus leaves are infinitely green and the lotus flowers are uniquely red in the sun."Attractions distribution:
The Lotus Pond was the water source of Beijing in ancient times. During the Liao and Jin Dynasties, a capital city was built southwest of the Lotus Pond. Later, the capital was destroyed due to the demise of the Liao and Jin Dynasties, and the Lotus Pond gradually fell into disuse. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lotus Pond Park was rebuilt and planned, becoming a rare tourist destination in the capital that retains its original scenery and water interest.Scenic spot qualifications:
