Ritan Park

  Ritan Park, nestled in Beijing's Chaoyang District near Dongzhimen, offers a blend of history and tranquility. Established in 1951 on the site of an ancient sacrificial altar, it was originally built for worshiping the sun god. Today, the park serves as a recreational haven, featuring a 600-meter-long pathway lined with lush trees, making it a popular spot for jogging and leisurely strolls. Visit in April to witness the cherry blossoms, which attract both locals and tourists alike. During your time at Ritan Park, you can enjoy various activities, including tai chi, traditional music performances, and simply relaxing by the tranquil ponds.
