Walking the Beijing Waterways: Northern Route
Since the 11th century in Beijing, dynastic emperors built moats to defend their city walls, and it is a loop of these waterways that makes up the last of the five walks in this series. Once again it is Kublai Khan and his grand architect Gou Shoujing that we have to thank for building the moats, most of which still stand today in various states of repair. In part six of Walking the Beijing Waterways, D J Clark takes off along the Yuan dynasty circuit.

Walking the Beijing waterways: Eastern route
In part five of Walking the Beijing Waterways, D J Clark starts near the international exhibition center where the Bahe river spills out into the northern moats and heads 12 km east out beyond the 5th ring road to where the river meets the second airport express way. Of all the walks this one takes him the furthest from the city center and in doing so he passes through urban and increasingly rural communities.

Walking the Beijing waterways: Southern route
In part four of Walking the Beijing Waterways, D J Clark starts where the last walk finished, at the entrance to Yuyuantan Park under the old CCTV Tower in the far west of the city. It's the longest of the five walks at 26 km and takes a full day to complete. Divided into two sections, the first follows the Yongding River to where it meets the city moats of the Qing Dynasty and follows them in a horse shoe around to the Beijing Railway Station where it meets the Tonghui canal. The second section follows the water east towards the Grand Canal.
