Lianhuachi Park sits in Fengtai District, southwest of Beijing West Railway Station. The over-3,000-year-old park is a municipal-level cultural relics preservation unit, and is said to have existed before the city of Beijing. The lotus-featured park boasts over 300 species of lotus flowers, and visitors can take subway Line 9 to Beijing West Railway Station or Liuliqiao Dong (E) Station, or Line 10 to Lianhua Qiao Station for a visit.
