Wuchaomen Park is a great place to admire hydrangeas.

The park takes its name from the Meridian Gate (Wumen) of the Ming Palace, hence the name Wuchaomen. The Ming Palace served as the imperial palace during the early Ming Dynasty, from its founding in 1368 until the capital was moved to Beijing in 1421. The palace was later destroyed, leaving only ruins. The Meridian Gate, once the main entrance to the palace, is now part of the park. Key attractions within the park include the ruins of the Meridian Gate, stone carvings, remnants of the imperial road, and the park's landscaping. The Meridian Gate ruins showcase architectural features such as arched doorways and Sumeru pedestals. The stone carvings display elements of Ming Dynasty artistry, including cloud patterns, floral motifs, dragons, and phoenixes. The remnants of the imperial road, now likely just some remaining stone slabs, offer a glimpse into the past. The park itself is well-landscaped with a variety of trees and plants, such as pines, cypresses, ginkgoes, and flowers, creating a scenic environment that changes with the seasons and is perfect for leisurely strolls.
