🏛️ Yuanmingyuan: Echoes of Glory in Stone and Water! 💧

#hellohalloween Yuanmingyuan Ruins & Grand Water Features Walk through the shattered marble of Yuanmingyuan, and you’ll hear history weep. Once the "Garden of Gardens," now its broken columns and carved fragments tell tales of imperial splendor and tragic loss. The Grand Water Method—a masterpiece of 18th-century hydraulics—still hints at its former grandeur, with stone dragons and lotus-themed fountains standing resilient. Amidst lotus ponds and weeping willows, feel the soul of ancient China. This is not ruin; it’s resilience carved in stone. #yuanmingyuan #imperialruins #beijinghistory
