Beijing Rose Garden

　　In the spring of 1987, under the leadership of the Xicheng District Government, various illegal structures were demolished and cleared, green spaces were restored, and at that time, efforts were mobilized from all sectors of the district. Within a very short period, a street park themed “brotherly trees of scholar trees and oriental arborvitaes, sisterly flowers of China roses and chrysanthemums” was built. A large number of the city’s symbolic trees and flowers — scholar trees, oriental arborvitaes, China roses, and chrysanthemums — were planted. It is commonly referred to as the “Madian Woodland.” In 1997, the construction of the Badaling Expressway and the erection of its approach bridge occupied part of the green space, reducing the park's green area from the original 5.1 hectares to 4.47 hectares.
