Purple Bamboo Park

Purple Bamboo Park

Purple Bamboo Park is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.

Introduction

Beijing’s Purple Bamboo Park is located outside Xizhimen. Once you arrive at Purple Bamboo Park, you’ve entered the kingdom of bamboo. The park houses bamboo pavilions, bamboo kiosks, bamboo tables, bamboo chairs, and even bridges of all sizes decorated with bamboo. The spectacular Dong Village wind-and-rain bamboo bridge offers visitors an immersive experience of how the Dong ethnic group in Guizhou shelters from the rain and relaxes on the bridge. The “boarding bridge” is essentially a large bamboo boat with a bamboo canopy and windows. A variety of bamboo structures showcase the charm of Chinese bamboo culture. The bamboo waterwheel turns slowly with the sound of flowing water, while the rhythmic poling propels bamboo rafts across the lake, leaving gentle trails on the water. Visitors can also enjoy riding in a bamboo sedan chair, playing with diabolos, or blowing on bamboo flutes, all of which bring great fun. A large group of people joyfully dance the bamboo pole dance in rhythm with Miao lusheng music, while performances of songs and dances by the Bai and Dai ethnic groups from Yunnan on a bamboo stage set up on the lawn attract numerous visitors. On the bustling Bamboo Market Street along the lakeside, built entirely of bamboo, people gather to drink tea, sample bamboo cuisine, and purchase a wide array of bamboo household items and handicrafts, further highlighting the important role bamboo plays in daily life.
