Is the Summer Palace fun?

The Summer Palace, an ancient imperial garden in Beijing, formerly known as Qingyi Garden, is located in the western suburbs of Beijing, 0/5 km away from the urban area/kloc-,covering an area of about 290 hectares and adjacent to Yuanmingyuan.

It is a large-scale landscape garden with Kunming Lake and Wanshou Mountain as the background and Hangzhou West Lake as the basis, drawing lessons from the design techniques of Jiangnan gardens. It is also the most well-preserved royal palace, known as the "Royal Garden Museum" and a national key scenic spot.

1, Kunming Lake

Kunming Lake is the main lake of the Summer Palace, accounting for three-quarters of the total park area, about 220 hectares. The Qianhu District in the south is rippling, the west is undulating, and the north is pavilions. There is a western dike in the lake, and there are peaches and willows on it. This 17 span bridge spans the lake, and three islands in the lake also have different forms of classical architecture. Kunming Lake is the largest lake in the royal gardens of Qing Dynasty. There is a long dike in the lake-Xidi, which winds from northwest to south. The west levee and its branches divide the lake into three waters of different sizes, and there is an island in the middle of the lake in each water area.

2. Paiyun Store

Paiyun Hall is located in the building center in front of Wanshou Mountain. Originally, it was the Hall of Gratitude and Life Extension built by Qianlong for his mother's 60th birthday. When Cixi was rebuilt, it was changed to Paiyun Hall, where Cixi lived in the garden and received worship on her birthday.

The word "Pai Yun" is taken from Guo Pu's poem "Fairy Pai Yun Shan, But See the Gold and Silver Terrace", which means that the fairy is about to appear in the ethereal Qiongge of Xianshan. Seen from a distance, Paiyundian, Paiyunmen, Jinshui Bridge and Ergongmen are in a straight line. Pai Yun Dian is the most spectacular building complex in the Summer Palace.
