1, introduction of scenic spots

Yuanmingyuan is a famous royal garden in Qing Dynasty. It consists of Yuanmingyuan, Changchun Garden and Qichun Garden. The history is extremely rich and beautiful, and it has the reputation of "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens". 1860, the British and French allied forces burned the main building to ashes. Nowadays, tourists can only hang in the ruins and look for the magnificent imperial map of that year.

Old Summer Palace

Most of the gardens in Yuanmingyuan take water as the theme, and the waterscape wins, with wide and calm lakes and narrow and swift streams. Yuanmingyuan is mainly composed of Fuhai Scenic Area and Houhu Scenic Area.

Happiness is the largest water surface in the garden, which means "Happiness is like the East China Sea". It was the water recreation center of the royal garden at that time. There are three square islands of different sizes in the middle of the sea, which are connected by bridges. Around Fuhai, there are countless small water rings, piles of rocks, mountains and hills, forming nearly a hundred natural spaces, just like nature.

Houhu Scenic Area is located in the west of Fuhai, surrounded by nine small islands, and is the symbol of "Kyushu" in China. Each island's landscape has its own characteristics and can learn from each other.

Qichunyuan

Yechun Garden, also known as "Wanchun Garden", consists of the northern half of Zhuyuan, Hanhui Garden, Xishuang Village and Hechun Garden. It was once one of the main places where Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty lived for many years. After Daoguang, it was mainly used as the garden residence of Empress Dowager Tai. There are many small scenic spots in the park, which is a large collection of small waterscape parks.

Today, Qichun Garden is the main venue of the annual Lotus Festival in Yuanmingyuan. A large area of lotus is planted on the water surface of the garden. In midsummer, lotus flowers are in full bloom, and the whole garden is colorful in Qichun. Crossing the lotus leaf is also a good experience.

Changchun garden

Changchun Garden is dominated by large waterscape. At that time, the core buildings including Jingtang complex were large in scale, and the layout was based on Ningshou Palace, the Forbidden City, which was the residence of Emperor Qianlong after his abdication. There is a lion forest in the northeast corner of the park, modeled after the lion forest in Suzhou. There are a series of European-style garden buildings in the northwest of the park, commonly known as the "West Building", and the famous "Water Law" is here.

In addition, there are more than ten buildings and gardens such as Heqiqu, Faxian Bridge, Haiyan Hall, Yuanying Temple, Shuifa Temple, Faxian and Faxian Wall. Now there are only ruins left, and we can only recall the grand occasion in the ruins.

The Huanghua Array in the West Building Scenic Area of Yuanmingyuan is a rectangular maze imitating European style. When the palace maid eunuch was playing here, the emperor and a bunch of concubines sat on the high platform and watched. Because the maid-in-waiting holds the yellow flower palace lantern, it is called the yellow flower array. At this point in the garden, you must go through this maze and feel the joyful atmosphere between the monarch and the minister.
