Bifeng Temple in Chengde Mountain Resort.

Looking at the ruins in the Mountain Resort, imagine the grandeur of the past. Chengde Mountain Resort is the largest royal garden in China, twice the size of the Summer Palace and eight times the size of Beihai Park. The landscapes that we see today are mainly concentrated in the palace area and the lake area, and the mountain area, which accounts for 80% of the resort area, is currently lackluster and there are not many attractions. In fact, there were many large temples and Taoist temples in the mountain area of the Mountain Resort in history. Today I will introduce Bifeng Temple. Bifeng Temple originally had a stone bridge, a mountain gate, a Heavenly King Hall, left and right bell and drum towers, a main hall, a sutra building, a Ganwei Book House, a Congbi Building, and a Huixi Pavilion. Every time Emperor Qianlong came to this temple, he would take its stream water to make tea. Every morning at the hour of the rabbit, officials in the garden would ring the bell to tell the time. At present, only some stone architectural relics remain, and a pavilion has been rebuilt.

The destination of this self-driving trip is Chengde Mountain Resort. Chengde Mountain Resort, also known as Chengde Palace and Rehe Palace, was a place where emperors of the Qing Dynasty spent summer vacations and handled government affairs. It is located in the north of Chengde City, Hebei Province. The scenic area covers an area of ​​564 Covering an area of ​​10,000 square meters, it was first built in 1703 and took 89 years to be completed in 1792 during the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties. It is the largest existing royal garden in the world. Chengde Summer Resort was sited and designed based on China's geographical features, with the mountainous areas in the northwest, the lake area in the southeast, and the plains in the north forming a microcosm of China's territory. The gardening of the villa is based on natural methods without artificial carvings. More than 120 groups of buildings are nestled among the mountains, rivers and trees, forming a magnificent landscape that integrates the beauty of the south and the beauty of the north and the national famous places in one garden. Chengde Summer Resort is divided into two parts: the palace area and the garden scenic area. The garden scenic area is divided into three scenic areas: lake area, plains and mountains. Look at the architectural features In 1961, it was announced as a national key cultural relic protection unit by the State Council. Chengde Summer Resort and surrounding temples were included in the World Heritage List by UNESCO in 1994. This trip to the Summer Resort also caught up with the Return of the Four Seals. After viewing the Zhong Hebi joint exhibition, I was really amazed.
