The Nine Dragon Screen of Beihai

The Nine Dragon Screen of Beihai is a significant cultural landmark in Beijing, constructed during the Qing Dynasty in 1756. This glazed-tile screen, one of only three of its kind in China (the others being in the Forbidden City and Nanjing), features intricate carvings of nine dragons on both sides, making it unique. Measuring approximately 7 meters high and 30 meters long, the screen showcases vibrant colors and detailed craftsmanship. It's a popular spot for photographs, though often crowded due to its location within the bustling Beihai Park.
