Summer PalaceSituated in the western outskirts of Haidian District, the Summer Palace (yíhé yuán 颐和园) is 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) from central Beijing. Having the largest royal park and being well preserved, it was designated, in 1960 by the State Council, as a Key Cultural Relics Protection Site of China. Containing examples of the ancient arts, it also has graceful landscapes and magnificent constructions. The Summer Palace is the archetypal Chinese garden, and is ranked amongst the most noted and classical gardens of the world. In 1998, it was listed as one of the World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.

Constructed in the Jin Dynasty (1115-1234), during the succeeding reign of feudal emperors; it was extended continuously. By the time of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), it had become a luxurious royal garden providing royal families with rest and entertainment. Originally called 'Qingyi Garden' (Garden of Clear Ripples), it was know as one of the famous 'three hills and five gardens' (Longevity Hill, Jade Spring Mountain, and Fragrant Hill; Garden of Clear Ripples, Garden of Everlasting Spring, Garden of Perfection and Brightness, Garden of Tranquility and Brightness, and Garden of Tranquility and Pleasure). Like most of the gardens of Beijing, it could not elude the rampages of the Anglo-French allied force and was destroyed by fire. In 1888, Empress Dowager Cixi embezzled navy funds to reconstruct it for her own benefit, changing its name to Summer Palace (Yiheyuan). She spent most of her later years there, dealing with state affairs and entertaining. In 1900, it suffered again, being ransacked by the Eight-Power Allied Force. After the success of the 1911 Revolution, it was opened to the public.

Summer PalaceComposed mainly of Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake, The Summer Palace occupies an area of 294 hectares (726.5 acres), three quarters of which is water. Guided by nature, artists designed the gardens exquisitely so that visitors would see marvelous views and be amazed by perfect examples of refined craftwork using the finest materials.

Tips

  • The Summer Palace embodied the gracefulness of the southern garden and the bold and unrestrained northern style. Successfully intergrating Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism beliefs into the Imperial Garden construction,it is a display of vast imperial power, hamony and grace.
  • The Hall of Listening to Orioles (Tingliguan) is a restaurant, called the imperial Dinning Restaurant. Many famous people had dinner there, such as the late premier Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping, Queen Elizabeth II, ect.

颐和园

颐和园是清代的皇家花园和行宫,前身清漪园,颐和园是三山五园中最后兴建的一座园林,始建于1750年,1764年建成,面积290公顷(4400亩),水面约占四分之三。

清漪园1860年被焚毁1866年重建,改名颐和园,1900年,颐和园又遭八国联军严重破坏,1902年再次修复。

颐和园主要由万寿山和昆明湖组成,水面占全园的四分之三。集中了全国园林艺术的精华,构思最巧妙、最有特色的是她的长达728米的长廊,长廊和廊中的绘画本身就有很高的艺术价值,另外她还起到了将园内各个景点有机地联系起来的作用,烘托出园林整体的美。

再一个设计特色是她的西堤和堤上的桥。西堤本是一条不宽的堤岸,没有什么实际作用,可是设计者偏要将平坦的堤岸人为地断开,在堤岸上建起“西堤六桥”,形成优美的“六桥烟柳”,景色丝毫不亚于杭州西湖的苏堤,六座桥中最美的是玉带桥。


Summer Palace昆明湖的南边是建园时有意保留下来的小岛,人们也叫它龙王庙,用十七孔桥将它与湖的东岸连接起来。

由十七孔桥、龙王庙和西堤将昆明湖装点起来,又巧妙地利用了中国园林艺术的借景手法,将远处的西山和玉泉山群峰纳入游人的视线,湖光山色,交相辉映,美不胜收。

颐和园的第三个特色是她的后湖景区,依靠后湖使万寿山形成三面环水的格局,后湖起到了观赏、游览和防火的三个功能,特别是将防火功能巧妙地与园林设计巧妙地相结合,其作用类似于城墙四周的护城河。
