01 Shuangxiu Park: Japanese-Style Garden

Shuangxiu Park, located on the edge of the North Third Ring Road, is the only Japanese-style garden building in Beijing.

Shuangxiu is a combination of Chinese and Japanese gardens, and is a symbol of the friendly cultural exchanges between China and Japan, which name is derived from "the elegance and beauty of Chinese gardens" and "the clear and beautiful landscape of Japanese gardens".

The park has a Chinese garden "Huifang Garden" and a Japanese garden "Cuishi Garden". Cuishi Garden is a simple and ancient garden with a quiet and mysterious shape, designed by the late Kinsaku Nakane, a famous Japanese garden designer. Kinsaku Nakane also designed the garden of the Adachi Museum of Art, which is known as the most beautiful garden in Japan.

The garden itself is small, but it is the exquisite layout of the garden that is important. As a representative of the Japanese garden, the small wooden bridge has faded from its original color, but the mottled Japanese atmosphere has not diminished and is full of a sense of storytelling.
