Traditional Architecture -The Beihai Pavilions
Beihai (North Sea) Park is one of the most popular parks in the city of Beijing. To the southwest of the lake lies the Five-Dragon Pavilions - five connected pavilions with spires and pointed upswept eaves. From a distance, they appear together like a huge dragon. Built first in 1602 and repaired several times in Qing Dynasty, these five pavilions, half over the water, stand on the north bank of the lake opposite the Jade Flowery Islet.
