Directions

One of Beijing's oldest imperial altar parks, Ritan is a compact, beautifully maintained gem surrounded by embassies and upscale cafes. The circular altar at its center, shaded stone paths, and a small fishing pond make it a favorite lunchtime escape for diplomats, expats, and local office workers. The park hosts a well-regarded antique and craft market on weekends near the east gate. It's small enough to feel intimate but polished enough to feel special — a rare combination in Beijing.
