[2025 Beijing Attraction] Travel Guide for Longtan Park (Updated Mar)

A tranquil retreat in eastern Beijing. Longtan Lake Park is a picturesque oasis, featuring a serene lake, winding walking trails, and vibrant gardens. Locals practice tai chi, play chess, and socialize amidst the peaceful atmosphere. As I strolled around the lake, the gentle lapping of the water against the shore and the sweet songs of birds created a sense of calm. The warm sunshine dancing across the ripples and the vibrant blooms surrounding me lifted my spirits, inviting me to linger and savor the serenity.

📍 Longtan Park, 16 Longtan Road, Dongcheng District 🎫Ticket price: 2 yuan, free for the elderly and others Longshan is built in the water, and in late autumn and early winter, red leaves 🍁 grow freely, beautiful and lively Although the Ferris wheel 🎡 is not open, it becomes a beautiful background for the golden ginkgo with the sunshine.

I think I found my favorite park in Beijing. Longtan Park in Beijing is a serene oasis in the heart of Chaoyang District.

Longtan Park in Beijing is a hidden gem that offers a peaceful escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. Spread across a sprawling area, the park is a beautiful blend of natural scenery and traditional Chinese design. Its serene lake, dotted with lotus flowers in the summer, is the centerpiece, surrounded by lush greenery, winding pathways, and charming pavilions. I spent hours wandering the park, crossing picturesque stone bridges, and watching locals engage in tai chi, dance, or simply relax by the water. The park also features a small amusement area, making it a hit with families, as well as open spaces perfect for picnics or flying kites. What I loved most was the sense of tranquility—despite being in the heart of Beijing, Longtan Park feels like a world away. Whether you’re looking to unwind, take a scenic walk, or soak in a slice of local life, this park is a must-visit. It’s a refreshing retreat that showcases the quieter, more contemplative side of the city. 🌳✨ #beijingtraveltips #localguides #景点拍照指南 #longtanpark #beijing #parks

Heading south along Xizhaosi Street, you will see the newly renovated Longtan Lake Park. I haven't been here for more than 30 years since I graduated from high school. When I was in my senior year of high school and preparing for the college entrance examination, all of my classmates would come here for a walk before evening self-study, walk around Longtan Lake, and then return to the classroom to continue studying... In the 1980s, at the beginning of social reform, a large group of us who were preparing to become the pride of the world, did not know the tomb of "Yuan Chonghuan" in the park, which should be remembered by the people of Beijing. It seems that we should know that the tomb keeper has been passed down from generation to generation, and has been silently guarding this anti-Qing hero! The loyal ministers have always had a tragic end. Remember to curse him a few times when you go to Jingshan to see the crooked neck tree where Chongzhen hanged himself next time... Until around 2010, the annual Longtan Lake Spring Festival Temple Fair was one of the three major temple fairs in Beijing, along with the Ditan and Changdian Temple Fairs. It is said that the booth fee was sky-high at that time, and it had to be auctioned publicly! Times have changed, and the square behind the Yuan Chonghuan Memorial Hall is still crowded with people in front of various stalls, and the shouting is endless.

During a 5 day stay in Beijing, we found the most tranquil park right on the doorstep of our hotel. We purposefully booked accommodation outside of the main tourist area and it did not disappoint. As per the custom we packed up with snacks, food and drinks, a book and a blanket and spend the day here at Longtan Park, Dongcheng. We really needed the time to re-energise before heading back to the hotspots amongst the masses. The park, was literally over the road from the hotel. There were plenty of bus stops (didn't take the numbers as we didn't use them) and accessible from the nearest subway station Temple of Heaven East Gate / Tiantandongmen line 5. It cost 2 Yuan each to enter. Great walking paths along the lakeside and plenty of spots to sit in the shade. Several drinks and ice cream sellers but not much. As we visited on a Sunday, we were lucky to see a local choir group rehearsing (which they invited us to sit and sing with them) and a women's group in traditional dress practicing their singing and dancing. There are boats to hire, much to the amuzement of the children who were having a go, and plenty of kite flyers all competing which was a new sight for us. Highly recommend for some time out of the city. The park is also opposite the Longtan Zhonghu Park (free to enter) and a great people watching spot, however this was a lot more active with everyone walking or running. #beijingpark #beijing
