Beibinhe Park was formerly the Dewai Nursery in Xicheng District. It was converted into an open street park in 1980 and underwent its first major renovation in 1998. The renovation project was designed by Beijing Guoan Landscape Design Company and constructed by the Xicheng District Gardens Bureau. Construction began in April 1998 and was completed in September 2000. The park covers an area of 66,300 square meters, with 54,547 square meters of green space.
The park is divided into two sections. The eastern part houses a Strange Stones Exhibition Hall with a construction area of 5,000 square meters. The hall displays over 2,000 pieces of ornamental stones from more than ten provinces and cities across China, essentially bringing together rocks from famous mountains under one roof. Next to the hall is a traditional-style Beijing courtyard known as the Stone Friends Clubhouse. The park is complemented by various rock formations, trees, and flowers, creating a uniquely themed stone park that operates with enclosed management—visitors must purchase tickets for entry. The western section is primarily for leisure and greening, equipped with appropriate public fitness equipment. It serves as an open public green space, mainly functioning to beautify the environment and provide residents in densely populated areas with a place for rest, recreation, and exercise.
