Dongdan Park was built in 1955 and covers an area of 47,500 square meters. The park has planted over 8,000 trees, flowers, and lawns, offering a fresh environment shaded by green trees and filled with birdsong and floral fragrance.
This area was originally part of the southern suburbs of the Yuan Dynasty capital. When the city wall was moved southward in the early Ming Dynasty, it was enclosed within the city. After the signing of the Boxer Protocol in 1901, it was designated as part of the legation quarter and became a training ground for foreign troops. In 1948, a temporary airport was also established here.
Located in a bustling urban area, the park has played a significant role in beautifying the surrounding environment. Today, it has become a popular destination for the public to relax and enjoy leisure activities.
