As the second Lang Park in the capital, the location represents an innovative practice integrating many cultural sectors such as arts center, garden galleries and style catering.

Originally a market for antiques and handicrafts, this new park inherits the region's historical flavor.

It consists of a large-scale classic archeological complex covering more than 30,000 square meters. And within the park, the Chongguo Tower, a lama tower from Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), has been kept intact.
