Haidian District

Haidian, meaning sea and shallow lake in English, is named for its much water. Just as a result of this, enjoying the beautiful scenery brought by mountains, water, forest and fountain, Haidian retains a great number of vast temples and royal gardens without parallel in history and in future.. In Ming and Qing dynasties, construction of gardens in Haidian reached a period of great prosperity. The present campuses of Beijing University and Tsinghua University were just the scenic gardens winning universal praise in Ming Dynasty – Shao Yuan (spoon Park) and Qinghua Yuan (Tsinghua Park); “though man made but seemed God created” “three hills and five gardens” are on the scroll of fame. Today’s Haidian has been the pioneering position initiating hi-tech as Zhonguancun-China’s Sillicon Valley is just here. Experience the glamour of modern hi-tech culture in the dynamic Haidian.
