The 1,075 year old Beihai Park in Beijing, China, is 27 square acres of beautiful gardens, temples, islands and lakes. One of the highlights is the 118 foot White Pagoda (Bai Ta), which was erected in 1651. In front is the Hall of Beneficent Causation (Shan Yin Dian) which was constructed 100 years later. On the staircase leading up to them is this marble, delicately carved dragon head.
