The northern modern waterfront scenic area and the southern green ecological-cultural area. The eastern garden features eight scenic spots: Imperial Riverside Splendor, Grand Canal Sails, Spring Waters of Hui, Memories of Scholarly Locust Trees, Scenic Views of the New Town, Ancient Qingfeng Lock, Cascading Water Flower Stream, and Silver Maple Secluded Valley.
The park is positioned as a premium waterfront destination that preserves historical heritage, highlights green ecology, reflects modern urban landscapes, and serves public leisure. It is an open urban space where tradition and modernity, people and nature coexist harmoniously. It not only retains and continues authentic historical and cultural elements but also integrates the surrounding modern atmosphere and lifestyle, embodying a sustainable design philosophy. Named after the Qingfeng Lock on the Tonghui River, Qingfeng Park derives its name from the second lock of the canal. Opened to navigation in 1292, the Tonghui River was a crucial waterway for grain transport in Beijing. As a key docking site, Qingfeng Lock once bustled with “thousands of grain boats, masts standing like a forest, and crowds of visitors.” Thanks to its clear waters and picturesque scenery, it became a popular recreational destination for locals since the Ming and Qing dynasties, earning the nickname “Northern Qinhuai.” Existing historical relics include the ancient lock structure, ancient locust trees, and the folk culture of Erzha Village. In the spring of 2009, the Chaoyang District government, in conjunction with the redevelopment of urban villages, carried out environmental improvements in the area, and the park was completed in September of the same year. Located west of the Tonghui River and south of the CBD, Qingfeng Park is the first section developed as part of the “Tonghui River Waterfront Cultural Landscape Belt.” It stretches west from Lingtongguan Bridge to Qingfeng Bridge in the east, north to Jingtong Road, and south to the railway line. The width ranges from about 70 to 250 meters, with a total length of 2,300 meters and a designed area of approximately 26.7 hectares. The park is divided into eastern and western sections by the Third Ring Road.
