It's evident that this location is of historical significance. Sections of the 13th century Yuan Dadu city wall remain on display alongside of modern sculptures which comment on Yuan Dynasty history. Kublai Khan's larger than life statue is a solemn and imposing figure. His concubines, in contrast, dance and cavort around him. Throughout the park Bronze horses make several appearances alongside of historical granite sculptures and tile murals.

When darkness falls, the mature ladies come out of the shadows into the square to blast the old school techno and do some line dancing. If that's not your scene, you can continue on along the dimly lit canal, past young awkward couples, up to Dadu Bar Street. It's not a particularly jumping destination, but why criticize an opportunity to have a cold beer on a waterfront patio when the stars above have just begun to twinkle?
