Beidaihe Pigeon Nest
There is a huge rock on the cliff near the sea formed by the stratum fracture in Dove Nest Park. It looks like an eagle standing upright, so it is named Eagle Corner Rock. The rock is more than 20 meters high. In the past, groups of pigeons often gathered in the morning and evening or nested in the cracks of the rock, so it was named Dove Nest. In 1937, a pavilion was built on the top of the cliff by the sea, named Eagle Corner Pavilion. In 1983, Vice Chairman Hu Juewen inscribed the plaque "Eagle Corner Pavilion" for this pavilion. The stone pillars and glazed tiles are simple and generous. It was built by the "Public Welfare Association" in the 26th year of the Republic of China (1937). Connecting to the Eagle Corner Pavilion, along the southwest direction, is a sea-viewing corridor connected by a four-corner pavilion and an open pavilion at both ends. Its shape absorbs the elegant and generous characteristics of the corridors of the Beijing Summer Palace and the Chengde Mountain Resort. The design adopts the method of perspective and borrowed scenery, which complements the surrounding natural scenery and is integrated. The corridor is 50 meters long and has a construction area of 180 square meters. The most attractive part of the park is watching the sunrise. The best place to watch the sunrise is on the Eagle Rock in the large fault zone of the east-west quartz vein at the mouth of Chitu River. At sunrise, everything is silent, the water and the sky are connected, and the colors change; the red sun emerges for a moment, and the red sun above and below the water connects, and instantly jumps out of the water. The glow and sunshine cover the mountains and beaches, as if covered with a layer of golden gauze. During the tourist season, tourists come here early to see the magnificent sunrise on the sea.
Beijing Yuetan Park
The Moon Altar was a place for worshipping the moon in ancient China, also known as the "Evening Moon Altar". As early as the Zhou Dynasty, the emperor had already worshipped the sun in spring and the moon in autumn. The only remaining Moon Altar is located in the west of Beijing. It was first built in the ninth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1530) and rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. It was one of the nine altars and eight temples in Beijing and was abandoned in the early years of the Republic of China. The "Moon Altar" generally refers to this place. The Moon Altar in Beijing during the Ming and Qing Dynasties was located to the west of Nanlishi Road and to the south of Yuetan North Street in Xicheng District, Beijing. It formed the Yuetan Park with the antique gardens to its south. The main buildings in the altar mentioned in the Ming and Qing documents, except for the altar platform and the inner altar wall, which were demolished, the rest of the ancient buildings such as the bell tower, Tianmen, Jufu Hall, and Shenku still exist. After liberation, the government strengthened the protection and construction of the Moon Altar and opened it as a park in 1955 for people to rest and entertain. After years of construction, the area of Yuetan Park has been greatly expanded. The entire park is divided into two parts, north and south. The north garden is characterized by ancient buildings with red bricks and green tiles and regular roads. This is the Moon Altar in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The South Garden is a newly opened tourist area, with rocks, pools, and winding garden roads, forming a natural landscape garden pattern. Its design and construction are based on the theme of "moon", and the name of the garden is also taken as "Yaoyue Garden". There is a group of small courtyards in the middle of Yaoyue Garden, named "Tianxiang Courtyard" with the meaning of "osmanthus falls in the moon, and the fragrance of heaven floats outside the clouds". On the wide lawn on the south side of Tianxiang Courtyard, there are several jade rabbits and Tianxiang Courtyard. On May 25, 2006, Yuetan, as an ancient building from Ming to Qing Dynasty, was approved by the State Council to be included in the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
Jintang Bridge Meeting Park
The National 2A-level Tourist Attraction is a theme park built to commemorate the victory of the Pingjin Campaign. The Jintang Bridge is a bridge with cultural relic value and historical commemorative significance. It was built in 1906. During the Pingjin Campaign, the People's Liberation Army met on the Jintang Bridge, so it became a landmark building symbolizing the liberation of Tianjin. To commemorate this historic moment, after the Jintang Bridge was renovated and restored to its function, theme parks were built on the east and west banks of the bridge, named the Meeting Park.
