As an ancient city, Beijing has lots of places of interest where you will find no walls and you can enter without paying anything. These places are not only beautiful but they are also full of history and culture. The Langrun Garden of Peking University is one of them.

Langrun Garden is one of the most beautiful places in Peking University, for this part is full of schorlarship and classic atmosphere, and is the place where ccer is located. Economy keynote speeches are often held here and different kinds of outstanding people come and listen to these speeches. The scenery here is beautiful too.

Langrun Garden is a typical imperial courtyard house, where each and every visitor can see its pavilions, stone bridges, ancient trees which have weathered lots of history and old stuff of the Old Summer Palace. All these things just tell you the historical changes of this area and it is full of peace and harmony here too.

The Chinese Indologist, linguist, paleographer and historian Ji Xianlin once lived in the garden and felt quite satisfied with the scenery of it:

Boldly speaking, this garden is ornamented by trees and bamboo and surrounded by emeral waters. In addition, you will also see several rockeries standing inside it. No doubt, the view here is amazing! Here are rockeries, waters, trees, bamboo and birds. Each time when it comes to the deep night and the sky is clean, the moon shines and its moonlight jumps up and down on the water swells here. From the sky to the earth, everything becomes clear and what you see from here to the place your eyes can reach is clean. The fragrance of these lotus flowers are just floating to the faraway places, along with the singing of the sleeping birds. You cannot deny this is the perfect spot to appreciate the moon. The fairy world is just outside my window.

Therefore, it seems this is not the perfect place for spring outing but one for appreciating the lotus pond under the shining moon.
