Jingcheng Locust Garden

Located east of the East Fifth Ring Road in Pingfang Township, Chaoyang District, Jingcheng Locust Garden connects with Dongba Country Park and Changying Park, covering an area of 1,098 acres to form a large green expanse of a suburban park. The garden is divided into four major zones: the Locust Culture Center Zone, Pear Blossom by Moonlight Leisure Zone, Forest Folk Sports Zone, and Waterfront Leisure Zone. Key attractions within the garden include Locust Fragrance Rest Area, Flower Valley Locust Fragrance, Locust Shade Plaza, and Pear Blossom by Moonlight. The most distinctive feature of Jingcheng Locust Garden is its focus on the locust tree — the city tree of Beijing — highlighting the summer plant landscape of “lush summer foliage and fragrant blooming locusts.” Along the lakeside and valley paths, visitors can admire over ten different varieties of locust trees.

The entire garden consists of four scenic functional areas: Pear Blossom by Moonlight Leisure Zone, Locust Culture Center Zone, Forest Folk Sports Zone, and Waterfront Leisure Zone. Major attractions include Pear Blossom by Moonlight, Flower Valley Locust Fragrance, Locust Fragrance Rest Area, and Locust Shade Plaza. The garden is home to a large number of locust trees, which are the city tree of Beijing and showcase the cultural characteristics of Beijing’s locust heritage. Strolling along the garden paths, visitors can observe over ten different types of locust trees, such as the red-flowered black locust, Chinese scholar tree, butterfly locust, golden-branch Chinese scholar tree, Jiangnan locust, and fragrant-flower locust. Jingcheng Locust Garden integrates regional folk culture and serves as a suburban park that combines leisure, folk activities, and sightseeing.

The south gate of the park is located on the north side of the Airport Expressway Second Ring and features the name “Jingcheng Locust Garden” inscribed by the renowned calligrapher Ouyang Zhongshi.
