About About the place

Taoranting Park, also known as Taoranting, is a public park located near the Beijing South Railway Station. The park is distinguished by its collection of pavilions (ting) representing various architectural styles from different regions of China. These structures are accompanied by informative signage in both English and Chinese, detailing their history and significance. Beyond the pavilions, the park offers a peaceful atmosphere with a central lake, walking paths, and notable dinosaur statues that periodically come to life with movement and sound.

This was a beautiful park which has pretty scenery and lush greenery. It has walking pathways with proper trails lined with pretty trees and there are also plenty of benches to sit there for the people. The musical fountain was the highlight and it was amazing..

There was nothing special about this speciality hotel and it was such a disappointment. The place was literally in ruins and it pinches me to see all my money goes to waste. The rooms were really dirty and unkept and the service was pathetic. I won’t recommend this to anyone and it was the worst experience.
