Longtan Lake Park

Longtan Lake Park

Longtan Lake Park is located in zuo'anmen, Dongcheng District. It is a water area gradually formed by a large depression excavated for firing City bricks during the Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. At that time, there was no name of Longtan Lake. Longtan Lake Park is a scenic spot composed of three connected waters, with a land and water area of 120 hectares and a water area of 700 mu.

Longtan Lake Park is a moat in the South and East, and zuo'anmen Street passes through the lake. The park covers an area of 1.2 million square meters, with a circle of about 2.5km. It is a garden with rippling green waves, shady green trees and waterscape.

Once there was a little boy who slipped into the water by accident. Two retired workers jumped into the water to save him. The little boy was rescued, but the two old workers died with honor. In memory of them, a statue was built for them in Longtan Lake Park.
