An oasis of calm among the busy streets, Changpu River Park is a lovely place to take a breather. Pull up a bench and watch fellow park lovers amble around the grounds.
The great news is that Changpu River Park costs nothing to visit. You'll find this recreation and green space in the food-lovers shopping street of Wangfujing Shopping Area. Nearby sights to add to your schedule are Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and Wangfujing Street.
