Spread over an area of 14 hectares, Bamboo Park is not to be missed visiting during Sightseeing in Beijing. In Yuan times, three lakes were dug out in the Bamboo Park Beijing. The purpose for digging the lakes was to flow down the water from Changhe Canal to Beijing. These three lakes cover around 11 hectares out of the 14 hectares of total area of the Bamboo Park. Apart from these lakes, there are five arched bridges connecting the lakes, isles and main garden area along with several corridors and pavilions.

Bamboo Park has a rich history to boast of. Records mention that before the third century, Bamboo Park formed the upper reached of the Gaoliang River with a famous bridge known as Gaoliang Bridge.
