Historical evolution
Lianhuachi park is an ancient scenic spot
. In 1045, King Wu of Zhou enfeoffed the princes to Jicheng, the farthest city in the north
(Guji city is in the northwest, about 3 kilometers outside the gate of Guang'an
)It was developed in the lower reaches of Lianhuachi, which can be said to be the "cradle" of Jicheng. In ancient times, the lotus pond was once called "West Lake", "Taihu Lake" and "nanhepo Lake", so it was called "lotus pond" because of the wide variety of lotus. It is the main source of water supply in the ancient city of Beijing
. Li Daoyuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty said in his notes to the water classic that this is "the old pool of Yan" and "also the place where you can win". Beijing West Railway Station on the northeast side was called spring tide or west lake at that time. The lake was 1 km wide from east to west and 1.5 km long from north to south. The capital of Liao and Jin Dynasties was built in the southwest of Chi, which was an important water source for the city

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the lotus pool became a place for officials to go for an outing, and then it was abandoned. By the 1980s, it had become a duck farm. After 1979, the municipal government decided to turn this "village Yefu" into a park. In September 1980, the Preparatory Office of Lianhuachi Park was set up to clean up the environment and plan the design scheme
