Liuyin Park

　　Liuyin Park is located at No. 8 Huangsi Street, Anwai, Dongcheng District, Beijing. It covers an area of 17.47 hectares, including a water area of 6.25 hectares, and is the only park in Beijing that features a rustic mountain-village charm.

　　This area was originally a group of kiln pits. It was turned into a lake in 1958 and reconstructed as a park in 1948.

　　The park has two major highlights:

　　The first is its rich collection of willow trees. The park grows over 70 varieties of willows, including dragon claw willow, silver sprout willow, drought willow, weeping willow, steamed bun willow, osier willow, grotesque willow, and river willow, making it one of the best places to admire willows.

　　The second is its pastoral scenery. The park is divided into four seasonal gardens—Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter—and naturally divided into five scenic areas: Spring Garden, Summer Garden, Autumn Garden, Winter Garden, and the Retained Spring Island. In particular, the “Youyicun” (Another Village) scenic area on the west side of the park captures the poetic imagery of “amidst the mountains and forests, as if there's no way out, yet beyond the willows and bright flowers lies another village.” It condenses the image of a mountain village at the foot of nature into a small garden, highlighting a rural atmosphere and reflecting the park’s design concept of countryside charm and pastoral beauty.

　　Within the park, bamboo fences, straw pavilions, lotus ponds, willow shelters, spring blossoms, and autumn fruits create a scene reminiscent of a paradise. From the waterside, the simple tiled cottages and fields are nestled among green trees. At sunset, the reeds and rice fields glow golden, while boats dot the waters and songs echo through the air, evoking a natural, rustic charm as if in the countryside. The park also frequently hosts activities related to ecological conservation, science and technology, education fairs, and home exchange events.

　　The houses feature blue tiles and white walls, and the winding stone paths are serene and long, giving off a distinct Jiangnan-style pastoral vibe.

　　Today, the park is filled with graceful willow groves, showcasing all four seasons.
