The entrance fee for the park is 5rmb. You can pay an extra fee to enter the White Dagoba and the other temple. It’s worth a short visit 😊 (visited on 9Nov, noon)

Such a beautiful park to visit, with lots of historic sides. A must see in Beijing.

Wanna be an emperor? Try out the costume rental service in Beijing and bring yourself back to the Qing or Ming Dynasty 😅 Excellent photo shoot site at Beijing Beihai Park.

Beihai park is a big park with some local historic architectures and suitable for a walk of 4-5 hours. Friendly for children. Beautiful park.

This is a very pretty view, clean and the locals are kind. Great for photos.
I give this 4/5 because I didn’t feel that it was culturally enriching. It feels customized for tourists.
Our rickshaw riders had to stop a lot for traffic, since they’re providing a “tour” it’s best to tip them. We couldn’t understand him, but he tried.
The bathrooms are decent, hidden in different places and hard to find.

Really pretty park! Definitely has some of the most beautiful views you'll see in a Beijing park. The white tower costs extra to be admitted to, and, in my opinion, you don't really need to bother with it. The park is plenty enjoyable without the extra.
