Yuan Dynasty City Wall Relics Park. The park is built on the original city wall relics in Yuan Dynasty. It is the longest linear park in Beijing. The north section is the city wall protection area and the south section is the plantation area with flowers, trees and grass scattered with pavilions, sculptures and murals.
