Twenty-Four Solar Terms Park

Twenty-Four Solar Terms Park

The Twenty-Four Solar Terms Park is located south of Temple of Heaven Park in Dongcheng District and is an open park themed around the twenty-four solar terms. The park covers a total area of 1.1 hectares, including 0.66 hectares of green space. The landscape project of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Park was implemented in August 2009 and completed in November 2009. During the park's renovation, traditional-style features such as garden ornaments, stone carvings on the ground, and antique flower stands were added.

It is a “solar terms park” themed around China’s twenty-four solar terms, featuring 24 white jade pillars, each inscribed with the name of a solar term and adorned with different patterns. The four groups of pillars represent the four seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Each group has six white jade pillars, symbolizing six solar terms, together representing all 24.
