It was THE feeding river for Beijing's famed and still Glorious Imperial Lakes of Houhai, Qianhai, Beihai - where it enters near the North Gate and Zhongnanhai. Through Beihai Park parts of the flow of the River even reached the Imperial Palace and City, feeding the waters of the Moat, the Imperial Garden - Yu Huan Yuan, Wu Ying Dian - Hall of Martial Valor and those underneath the Outer Courts famed Golden River Bridges and other water structures of the Huge Palace, including current day Park of the Peoples Culture.
