XiangShan (Fragrant Hills) Park 香山公园, BeiJing

XiangShan Park lies in the well-forested Western Fragrant Hills.

This wonderful park is tranquil yet feature rich extending from the lower gardens and temple to the peak (560 meters) with tea-houses, pagodas and more along the way.

Don't miss the Tranquil Heart Studio, the main part of which is a long corridor encircling a round pond, and further up the hill (middle route) YuHua Villa and QiYue Villa; all three are now partly tea-houses.
