By the park’s northern exit you’ll find the exquisite Azure Cloud Temple. which holds the 100-foot-tall Diamond Throne Pagoda and is more reminiscent of India than northern China. Inside the temple you’ll also find some 500 arhats, each of which has its own unique expression, along with a more bizarre find – a crystal coffin that once housed Sun Yatsen and was donated by the Soviets.
Sun was interred here between 1925 and 1929 before his remains were moved to Nanjing and there is an exhibition detailing the whole process. You could quite easily spend a day or two in the park and if you’d like a night’s respite from the city, the Fragrant Hills Hotel is a good opti.
