The Summer Palace is the most well-preserved royal palace. The ingenious promenade and spectacular 17-hole bridge depict the elegant and solemn style of a generation of royal gardens. One of the symbols of Beijing is a must-see spot for a one-day trip in Beijing.
The scenic spot introduces the Summer Palace:
The Summer Palace is the largest and best preserved imperial garden in China, and one of the four famous gardens in China (the other three are chengde mountain resort, Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden and Suzhou Lingering Garden). Located in Haidian District, Beijing, 15 kilometers away from Beijing, covering an area of about 290 hectares. Taking Kunming Lake and Wanshou Mountain as the base sites, taking the scenery of West Lake in Hangzhou as the blueprint, and drawing on some design techniques and artistic conception of Jiangnan gardens, it is a large-scale natural landscape garden, which is also the most well-preserved royal palace, and is known as the Royal Garden Museum.
The Summer Palace was originally the palace and garden of the Qing emperors, formerly Qingyi Garden, with three mountains and five gardens (three mountains refer to Wanshou Mountain, Xiangshan Mountain and Yuquan Mountain). There are three gardens, namely Qingyi Garden, Jingyi Garden and Jingming Garden, on the three hills, in addition to Changchun Garden and Yuanmingyuan, which are nearby. The last garden was built in 1750 and completed in 1764, covering an area of 290 hectares, accounting for about three quarters of the water surface.
Before Qianlong succeeded to the throne, four large royal gardens had been built in the western suburbs of Beijing. The four gardens from Haidian to Xiangshan were self-contained and lacked organic connection with each other, and the "Wengshanbo" in the middle became an empty area. In the 15th year of Qianlong (1750), Emperor Qianlong spent 4.482 million silver to honor his mother, the filial piety queen, and converted it into Qingyi Garden. Taking this as the center, the four gardens on both sides were connected into a whole, forming a royal garden area that is 20 kilometers long from tsinghua campus to Xiangshan.
In the tenth year of Xianfeng (1860), Qingyi Garden was burned by the British and French allied forces.
