Yuting Park

Yuting Park

Yuting Park was originally the largest flower, bird, fish, and insect market in Beijing. To comprehensively improve the environment along the railway and create a positive “first impression of Beijing,” the Chongwen District Party Committee and District Government invested over ten million yuan to demolish the Yuting Flower and Bird Market and build a large cultural activity plaza and green space park that integrates leisure, entertainment, and fitness. It has become a modern green plaza along the railway, featuring a large area, high greening standards, and advanced facilities.

Yuting Park stretches east from Yuting Bridge to Jingtai Bridge in the west, is bordered by the railway to the south and the moat to the north, and lies adjacent to the Second Ring Road. It is 530 meters long from east to west and 40–100 meters wide from north to south, covering a total area of 3.7 hectares. Located at the intersection of three major transportation routes—railway, road, and waterways—it holds a highly important position in the urban landscape. The plaza construction has always adhered to a “people-oriented” approach, emphasizing the harmonious unity of ecological and humanistic environments.

In the western part of the plaza, there is a 2,600-square-meter sunken central fountain plaza and a membrane-structure open-air theater, where large-scale cultural and artistic performances can be held and colorful fountains can be enjoyed. The eastern part of the plaza features a 2,200-square-meter shaded leisure plaza, adorned with multiple groups of uniquely shaped and innovatively styled sculptural pieces, adding endless charm to the civic cultural plaza. When night falls, the vibrant hues of column lights, lawn lights, plaza lights, and bridge lights interplay, creating a breathtaking view and making it a stunning nighttime attraction along the railway of the South Second Ring Road.
