Bei Hai Lake


Beihai Park, just northwest of the Imperial Palace, contains Beijing's largest lake, Beihai Lake. In the middle of the lake is Qionghua Isle, seen here across the wider north side of the lake. At the top of the island is the White Dagoba that was built in 1651 to commemorate a visit to Beijing by the Dalai Lama.
