Summer Palace: A fountain garden on the Gulf of Finland.

Peter the Great built the first garden in St. Petersburg (Peter I moved the capital to St. Petersburg), located on the Gulf of Finland and surrounded by rivers. The most abundant resource is water, so the Summer Garden is full of fountain sculptures. There is a waterfall fountain sculpture group in front of the main building of the Summer Palace Garden. When all the fountains and water columns are turned on, the golden statues stand in the sunlight, shining with golden light and brilliance, creating a magnificent scene. The entire garden has two trapezoidal waterfalls, 37 large golden sculptures, 150 small golden sculptures, 29 bas-reliefs, 64 fountains, and more than 2,000 water columns, making it a fountain exhibition center. As a palace, the emperor's portraits, luxurious facilities, and various exquisite items and decorations are naturally not lacking. The most exciting part is the river channel leading to the bay behind the palace, surrounded by various sculptures, fountains, bridges, and gardens, making it a place to linger.
