About Beijing Garden Expo Park
Its themed gardens allow comparisons among imperial, Jiangnan, and Lingnan design traditions, while the broader park includes woodland, wetlands, and Ying Hill. Yongding Tower marks the higher ground and offers a different way to read the garden setting when its viewing access is available. Choose a small group of gardens for close comparison rather than treating the whole former exposition as a checklist; the differences in enclosure, water, planting, and pavilion placement are the point of the visit.
What to look for
- Regional garden designs: compare imperial, Jiangnan, and Lingnan treatments of water, rockwork, and buildings.
- Ying Hill and Yongding Tower: look at how the higher landscape relates to the gardens below.
