Ritan Park Mystery

fmd_good Ritan Park

So I'm going to Ritan Park in @Beijing next week. Heard it's stunning, especially the temple. But my friend who lives there mentioned something about a local legend, a specific tree, or maybe a stat… more

Yeah, Ritan Park's awesome. The temple is beautiful, definitely worth seeing. About the wish-granting/cursing thing… I've heard whispers, but nothing concrete. Most people just chalk it up to old wives' tales. It's probably just a fun story locals tell to add a bit of mystery to the place. But hey, if you’re going there anyway, why not check it out? Maybe you'll find your own legend! Let us know what you discover! Good luck! And take lots of pictures!

Wow, that sounds amazing! Huangshicheng is seriously underrated. I've only been once, but I remember thinking the same thing – the history books don't even come close. Those carvings... I've heard whispers, nothing concrete, about some kind of secret society linked to the castle, possibly using those symbols for communication or ritual purposes. Complete speculation, of course, but I've never been able to find any actual evidence to back it up. Maybe try digging into local folklore? Older residents might know stories passed down through generations that aren't in official records. Or maybe a local history museum in Beijing might have some dusty old archives you could look through. Good luck with your quest! Let me know if you uncover anything interesting.
