Bei Hai Park


After going to the Forbidden City we visited on the the most beautiful parks I have ever seen. Bei Hai Park is lush and huge. I can't image the man hours it takes to create and preserve this parks. I had no idea that Beijing had so many parks.


It stared to sprinkle but still a beautiful view. It is a definite must see when in Beijing.




Again here is our lovely model Delainie. Showing us the proper rain gear. However, her mama forgot to pack an extra pair of socks and band aids for the wet weather. She later removed her socks where they rode around soggy in my purse for the remainder of the day.



This is the bell tower at the park only 3 Yuan each to go up and ring the bell. Shu shu went with us but did not ring the bell. Delainie and I did. We want to keep up the good luck.





More stairs and a little slick too!


Well worth the climb. Look at this beautiful pagoda!






Here is the view from the boat we took across the water.




Our model one last time. Look how large this loin is.


Here Delainie and I are at the Nine Dragon Screen






Delainie's views:

At Bei Hia park I got a blister on my foot. It hurt very badly. We got to go on a boat across
the lake. When we first came in Bei Hia park there was these pretty lily pads with the most prettiest flower I ever saw! I got to ring a bell three times for good luck. I couldn't do it my self because the swingy thing was to hard to push.

Didn't we see something like the "Nine Dragon Screen" in Chicago? It was smaller, but I remember it down on the street below the L-train and opposite the entrance to Chinatown. I with we had a Chinatown here.
