The Jin Tu Cheng Ruins are located in the area of Fenghuangzui Village in Fengtai District. The highest point of the Jin Tu Cheng is about 3 meters, with intermittent sections stretching for approximately 100 meters. From the third to the fifth year of the Tiande era (1151–1153) during the Jin Dynasty, Emperor Hailing Wu, also known as Wanyan Liang, expanded the eastern, western, and southern walls of the old Yanjing city outward. Its northeastern corner was situated on Cuihua Street inside Xuanwumen (today’s Xuanwumen area), the northwestern corner at Donghuangtingzi east of Yangfangdian (today’s Yangfangdian area), the southeastern corner at Silutong south of Yongdingmen Railway Station, and the southwestern corner at today’s Fenghuangzui in Fengtai District. In the fifth year of Tiande (1153), the capital was moved here from Shangjing Huining Prefecture and renamed Zhongdu (Central Capital). The Zhongdu city had 13 gates: four on the north, and three each on the east, west, and south. Twelve of these gates led into the central palace city. In front were a plaza and a thousand-step corridor, flanked by government offices, with gardens and temples to the southwest, and a commercial district to the northeast. The city covered an area of about 22 square kilometers. It inherited the urban planning of both the Tang-era Youzhou and Liao-era Nanjing, while also adopting the layout of the Song-era Bianliang. The architecture was luxurious and splendid. In the third year of the Zhenyou era (1215), it was captured and burned by Mongol forces. The remaining ruins are part of the southwestern corner of Zhongdu extending eastward. A few meters of the western wall can still be found in Gaolou Village. The water channel to the south of the earthen ruins is believed to be the remnant of the Jin Dynasty’s moat.

The bronze statue of the Thousand-Handed and Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva is located east of Dajing Village in Fengtai District. It is the largest and most exquisitely crafted surviving bronze Bodhisattva sculpture in Beijing. The site of the Wanfo Yanshou Temple is also situated east of Dajing Village in Fengtai District. According to the surviving "Pagoda Stele Inscription," the Wanfo Yanshou Temple was built in the first year of the Wanli reign during the Ming Dynasty. The temple itself has long since collapsed, but the Bodhisattva statue is situated on the ruined foundation of the Mahavira Hall’s rear hall, known as the Great Compassion Pavilion. Measuring 8 meters in height from the base of the lotus pedestal, the statue features an ornate crown adorned with three female facial busts — round yet slightly slender in shape, with serene and dignified expressions. Originally, the statue had 24 arms on either side, most of which are now missing. The four remaining arms are in various poses, showcasing the delicate flexibility of the fingers. The figure wears a short tunic and a long skirt, with flowing ribbons hanging down both sides. The entire statue is decorated with jewelry and engravings, while the robes are adorned with engraved patterns of lotus flowers and scrolling vines. The Bodhisattva stands atop a lotus pedestal, the front of which features a bas-relief of two dragons soaring through clouds. The bronze statue was cast in three sections and then carved and finished.

Moon Over Lugou Bridge at Dawn is one of the famous Eight Views of Yanjing. Lugou Bridge is located southwest of Guang’anmen in Beijing, spanning the Yongding River. In ancient times, Emperor Qianlong once passed by the bridge in autumn. In 2000, the government made efforts to restore the water surface of Xiaoyue Lake but ultimately had to abandon the project due to water shortages. During that time, they also attempted to use high-tech methods to create an artificial moon by the lake, which could not compare to the natural wonder of "three moons in one day." In May 2008, the Fengtai District government initiated a water storage project for the Yongding River, which included restoring the water surface of Xiaoyue Lake. This time, the restoration used discarded water from pipeline flushing during the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, which began being injected into Xiaoyue Lake on July 1, 2008. On July 20, as the final 20,000 cubic meters of discarded pipeline-flushing water from the Beijing-Shijiazhuang section of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project flowed into Xiaoyue Lake, the lake, which had been dry for 20 years, finally had the conditions to reflect the moon on its waters. The "Moon Over Lugou Bridge at Dawn" spectacle was successfully revived during the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2008.
