Beihai is home to several notable temples, and Xiao Xi Tian is particularly unique. One of China's largest square style pavilions, the Qing Dynasty structure houses an enormous clay sculpture of Putao Mountain, perched upon by over a hundred Buddhists.

Although adjacent Jingshan Park may occupy the center of the city, Beihai Park suffers no pangs of jealousy. Beihai has a couple hundred years more history on Jingshan. That's a couple hundred more years to chill out and relax. Beihai has the space to breathe, and the wisdom to do so slowly.
