Old Summer Palace, Beijing | Amazed by the aesthetics of our ancestors.

Visit the Old Summer Palace in autumn, and you will be greeted by tranquility as soon as you enter the park. The lake is as smooth as a mirror, the willows are swaying, and the lotus flowers are standing tall. Walk along the path, the ancient trees tower into the sky, the sunlight sprinkles spots of light, and the birds chirping add vitality. The ruins of the Old Summer Palace are a witness to history, and the broken walls and ruins tell the past prosperity. Standing in front of the ruins, you will feel the history, remember the pain, and cherish peace. Continue to stroll, the flowers in the garden bloom in brilliant colors, the bees are busy, and the butterflies are dancing. Visiting the Old Summer Palace is not only a baptism of history, but also a feast of nature. You can feel the heaviness of history and the beauty of nature, which touches the soul. 🌟Pengdao Yaotai: Located in the center of Fuhai, it is one of the typical fairyland landscapes in the Old Summer Palace. There are three islands here, symbolizing Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou. The architectural style is unique and the scenery is beautiful. 🌟Fanghu Shengjing: Fanghu Shengjing in the northeast of Fuhai is one of the forty scenes of the Old Summer Palace, composed of a group of extremely luxurious pavilion buildings. The buildings here are magnificent and breathtaking. 🌟Wanfang Anhe: The main building is a "卍" shaped flat temple, which means peace in the world. The building foundation is built under the water, and the indoor structure is ingenious, warm in winter and cool in summer. 🌟Haiyue Kaijin: Haiyue Kaijin in Changchun Garden is a fairyland landscape, located in the center of the lake. The island is a regular circle with a diameter of about 90m, and the plane shape symbolizes the full moon. There are three-story pavilions on the island, each with a double-eave pavilion on all sides, and there are plaques "Qingyao Island" and "Riding Six Dragons" on the building. 🌟Fenglinzhou: Fenglinzhou in Qichun Garden is composed of two islands in the east and west of Donghu. It is a sea and mountain scenic spot. The two islands are arranged side by side, the west is large and the east is small, and they are connected by a curved bridge. There are two volumes and seven rooms in the main hall of the west island, and five pavilions are built in front; the south is the open hall Xiuqi Pavilion, surrounded by corridors. The east island is the location of the value room, and the courtyard layout is simple. 🌟Quyuan Fenghe: Emperor Qianlong praised this place for its red clothes and long rainbows, which was quite the charm of Quyuan Fenghe in West Lake, so he took its name. Walking on the wooden bridge, there are lotus flowers in front of you, and the eyes are full of Jiangnan style. 🌟Lianxi Lechu: "I love the lotus because it grows out of the silt but not stained, and it is washed but not demon." Mr. Lianxi Zhou Dunyi praised the nobleness of the lotus. The Lianxi Lechu of the Old Summer Palace is this artistic conception. There are lotus flowers all around. 🌟Duo Jia Ruyun: In the past, this place was where the emperor served the queen, or the queen and the princes and grandsons. Emperor Jiaqing also left the poem "Ten Acres of Pond and Ten Thousand Handles of Lotus". Now it has become the Old Summer Palace Lotus Base, planting 200 varieties of boutique lotus flowers. Every summer, it is a feast of lotus flowers. 🌟Huanghua Array: Originally named Wanhua Array, it is a garden built after the European maze. In the past, the emperor and the harem concubines liked to play here. Now you can also experience it and see how long you can get out of this maze. 🌟Western Building Scenic Area: The Haiyan Hall, Fangwaiguan, and Dashuifa ruins in the Old Summer Palace depict the prosperous scene here in the past, and we must also remember the humiliation of the past.
