Fortune telling in Ganxian Square

Why are there so many fortune tellers in Dongdan Park?

There is no mystery, it's all superstition.

Dongdan Park is located at No.4 Dahua Road, Dongcheng District, Beijing, with an area of 47,500 square meters. Built in 1955, it is one of the parks in Beijing. To the north is a heaped-up mountain with dense trees and a hexagonal glazed tile pavilion with double eaves.

There are pools, waterside pavilions and children's playgrounds in the south, rockeries and squares in the east and verandas and caves in the west.

Dongdan Park is also a gathering place for Go lovers. When Nie Weiping just returned to Beijing from Heilongjiang Construction Corps, his chess skills were excellent, but he was still in the amateur Weiqi world at that time, and his popularity was not high.

Extended data:

Dongdan Park is a street park with rocks, lotus ponds, flowers and trees, pavilions and pavilions as its main landscaping structure. Uneven mounds are piled up in the garden, resulting in the artistic conception of winding paths, rugged rocks and flowers and trees. Especially beside the mound near the west gate, the winding and secluded tunnel composed of Taihu stone and bluestone is used to form the entrance barrier separating the garden space, and at the same time, the landscape atmosphere of thin, transparent, leaking and wrinkled lake stone is brought into play.

The mound in the park is 19 meters high, and a unique classical pavilion is built on it. The pavilion has double eaves, double columns, hexagonal flying and blue glazed tiles. Its shape is unique in the country, dazzling from afar, and complements the main color of the park. At the southern end of the park, there are lotus ponds, waterfront corridors, flower sheds, leaky windows and chess tables. These are "a little small enough to make a grand view".
