Yuyuantan Park
Yuyuantan Park

Yuyuantan Park (lit. 'Jade Deep Lake Park', Chinese: 玉渊潭公园) is one of major urban parks in the city of Beijing. This park covers a territory of about 137 hectares (340 acres), 61 of which are covered by water. Yuyuantan is the largest water body in the park. The park is located between the western segment of the Third Ring Road and Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. The China Millennium Monument is located just to the south of the park, and the Chinese Navy Hospital is to the north of the park. Central Radio & TV Tower can be viewed in the park. Yuyuantan has a long history. During the Liao (907–1125) and Jurchen Jin (1115–1234) dynasties, Beijing was the secondary capital city of those two dynasties, and the area of current Yuyuantan was a notable attraction outside of the city at that time. However, there was no lake back in those days. At that time, the place of current Yuyuantan Park was just a low land. Yuyuantan Lake was first created during the Qing dynasty when the Qianlong Emperor was the ruler. In 1773, springs from Fragrant Hills were introduced into the low land and impounded to be a lake. Beside the lake, the Qianlong Emperor built an imperial palace for short stays. In the later half of the Qing dynasty, however, the palace was gradually abandoned, and the lake also almost dried up. In 1960, the Beijing government introduced water from the Yongding River into the lake and made it revived. Yuyuantan became an urban park of Beijing. In the 1990s, the rest parts of the park were built, and cherry trees was widely planted in the park. Now, Yuyuantan Park has become a well-known place to view cherry blossoms in China.

Diaoyutai State Guesthouse
Diaoyutai State Guesthouse

The Diaoyutai State Guesthouse (DSG) (simplified Chinese: 钓鱼台国宾馆; traditional Chinese: 釣魚臺國賓館; pinyin: Diàoyútái Guóbīnguǎn) is a diplomatic complex in Haidian District, Beijing, China, where the Chinese state leadership offers receptions to visiting foreign dignitaries. It includes a number of villas and gardens. The hotel complex is mentioned as one of the Ten Great Buildings, a list of landmarks constructed in 1959 for the 10th anniversary of the People's Republic of China. The guesthouse is located in Beijing's Haidian District, to the west of Sanlihe Road and to the east of Yuyuantan Park. It is where Chinese president and Communist Party general secretary Xi Jinping offered tea to visiting British Prime Minister Theresa May in 2018. The guesthouse is used to house visiting foreign dignitaries and provincial government officials. During the Mao era, Kang Sheng, Mao's primary hit-man against his opponents, used the complex as his base to organize a team of ideologues to campaign against Soviet revisionism. In the times of widespread poverty, the people here were served with very good food. Others who used to work here with Kang Sheng include Wu Lengxi, Wang Li, Yao Qin and Fan Ruoyu. During the Cultural Revolution, it was used as the office of the Central Cultural Revolution Group, and the residence of Chinese Communist Party chairman Mao Zedong, Jiang Qing (Madame Mao), Chen Boda and Kang Sheng. Since then, the guesthouse has also been open to paying customers. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un stayed at the Guesthouse's No. 18 villa during his 2018 trip to China.The name "Diaoyutai" means "angling platform", and is so named because the site was formerly a favorite fishing spot of Emperor Zhangzong of Jin, and is not related to the Diaoyutai Islands.
