The Nine-Dragon Screen

Beihai Park

Nine-Dragon Screen

Made in 1756, the screen wall is five meters high, 1.2 meters thick and 27 meters long, and made of glazed tiles. The screen was made to scare off evil spirits. Apparently it didn't scare off too many spirits, because the temple it guarded has long disappeared.
