Beihai Park is located on the west side of Jingshan Mountain in Beijing and northwest of the Forbidden City. It is named after the three seas, Zhonghai and Nanhai. It was originally an imperial palace gradually built in the five dynasties of Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing. It is one of the oldest, most complete, most comprehensive and representative royal gardens in my country. The whole garden is designed and laid out based on the mythical "One Pond and Three Immortal Mountains" (Taiye Pond, Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou). It has a unique form and is rich in fantasy artistic conception.
The construction of Beihai originated from an ancient myth: It is said that there are three fairy mountains in the vast East China Sea, called Penglai, Yingzhou, and Abbot; immortal gods live on the mountains. After Qin Shihuang unified China, he sent the alchemist Xu Fu to the East China Sea to search for the elixir, but found nothing. In the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also dreamed of immortality, but the search still yielded no results, so he ordered a large pool to be dug in the north of Chang'an, named "Taiye Pool". Three rockeries were piled in the pool, each named Penglai. , Binzhou, and Fangzhang Sanxian Mountain were named. Since then, emperors of all dynasties have liked to imitate the "one pond and three mountains" pattern in building royal palaces. Beihai takes exactly this form - Beihai symbolizes "Taiye Pool", "Qionghua Island" is Penglai, and "Tuancheng" and "Xishantai" originally in the water symbolize Yingzhou and the abbot. In the garden, there are many relics of seeking immortality, such as "Lv Gong Cave", "Xianren's Temple", and "Bronze Immortal Dew Tray".
The earliest Beihai was just an ordinary body of water with an island named "Yaoyu" in the water. The Jin Dynasty began to dig lakes and build mountains, expand Yao Island, and rename it "Qionghua Island". "Yaoguang Hall" and "Guanghan Hall" were built on the island, and Genyue flowers and stones were moved from Bianliang (today's Kaifeng) to stack rockeries. Beihai began to take shape. In the Yuan Dynasty, Qionghua Island continued to be expanded and renamed "Wansui Mountain", "Longevity Mountain" and "Du Mountain", and the capital city of the Yuan Dynasty was built around it, so there is a saying that "Beihai first came and then Beijing". In the Ming Dynasty, Beihai became the back garden of the imperial palace, called Xiyuan. The South China Sea was dug, and earth was piled on the east bank to connect Tuancheng and Xishan Terrace to the mainland, and the "Jin'ao Yudong Bridge" was built. In the Qing Dynasty, a pagoda and temple were built on the site of Guanghan Hall, which was called "Baita Temple". Later it was renamed "Yong'an Temple" and Qionghua Island was called Baita Mountain. During the Qianlong period, large-scale construction was carried out in Beihai, which lasted for 30 years. During the Guangxu era, Cixi used naval military expenditures to rebuild Beihai for her enjoyment.
In August 1925 after the Revolution of 1911, Beihai was turned into a park and opened to tourists. However, due to poor management, it gradually became deserted and became an overgrown, weedy place on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China. A deserted garden filled with sludge. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Beihai Park was listed as a key national cultural relic protection unit. The Three Seas were dredged, buildings were renovated, and facilities were added to make Beihai more colorful and a tourist resort for the people. In 1987, Beihai was named one of the Sixteen New Scenic Spots in Beijing. Jingshan: 2 yuan

During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the soil from the excavation of the moat was piled here to build a tall earth mountain called "Long Live Mountain", also known as the "Zhenshan" of Ouchi. The name Jingshan was changed in the early Qing Dynasty. The five pavilions on the mountain were built during the Qianlong period. At that time, the jungle on the mountain blocked the sun, and there were flocks of deer and cranes. It was full of vitality and full of natural wildness.
