Beijing International Sculpture Park

Beijing International Sculpture Park

Beijing International Sculpture Park, located in the eastern part of Shijingshan along the western extension of Chang’an Avenue in Beijing, has a total planned area of 162 hectares. It is a national-level sculpture art and culture park. After two years of construction, it has become the largest sculpture-themed park in Beijing and a vivid illustration of the concept of the "People's Olympics." Officially opened in September 2002, the park quickly became one of Beijing’s top ten premium parks that year, marking a groundbreaking achievement in the city’s cultural development in the 21st century.

Beijing International Sculpture Park primarily focuses on collecting and exhibiting sculpture artworks from both China and abroad. It is a comprehensive garden integrating functions such as sculpture art appreciation, research, popularization, as well as leisure, entertainment, and tourism. The park currently houses over 180 outstanding sculptures, reliefs, and murals from more than 40 countries and regions, showcasing an international selection of works and artists. The sculptures in the park are themed around modernity, essence, interaction, and development. Their designs — in terms of perspective, space, and scale — are organically integrated with the environment, highlighting the global nature of the creative vision. As a result, visitors can not only enjoy the beautiful garden setting but also experience the cultural impact brought by high-level sculpture art. This is precisely the embodiment of the park’s founding philosophy.

Guided by the philosophy of "merging a green, ecological park with refined sculpture art, rooted in the natural environment and centered on people," Beijing International Sculpture Park has gradually evolved into an internationally renowned sculpture-themed park, a high-end, globally-oriented cultural leisure destination favored by all sectors of society, and an iconic new landmark of Beijing.

Beijing International Sculpture Park is currently divided into eastern and western sections. The east garden showcases a modern humanistic atmosphere, while the west garden exudes a rustic, pastoral charm. Together, they complement each other beautifully, creating a poetic and picturesque scene.

Area: 162 hectares

The most distinctive feature of the west garden of Beijing International Sculpture Park is its Jiangnan-style (southern Yangtze region) garden landscape. Spanning nearly 17 hectares, the garden features undulating and well-arranged layouts. To echo the scenery of the east garden, the west garden has specially included 50 masterpieces by renowned sculptors from China and abroad. A 20-meter-high thematic sculpture at the west gate, titled “Gate of Spring,” serves as the centerpiece of the sculpture park, complementing the “Ritual of Spring” in the east garden, and heralding a bright and vibrant future full of vitality. The underground music exhibition corridor, connected to the east garden, is also unique. It consists of line-engraved murals that blend classical and modern musical instruments from the East and West, along with 24 niches displaying premium sculptures. It not only serves as a connecting space but also acts as a key node in the overall landscape sequence of the west garden, symbolizing the beginning of a new symphonic chapter.
