Summer Palace Travel Notes
I came to the Summer Palace in Beijing on the weekend and started a journey through ancient and modern times.
As soon as I stepped into the Summer Palace, I was deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of me. This is a model of royal gardens, with beautiful lakes and mountains. The first thing that comes into view is Kunming Lake, with sparkling water and several cruise ships slowly passing by on the lake, leaving ripples. The weeping willows by the lake sway in the wind, as if welcoming every tourist.
Walking along the lake, I came to the corridor. The corridor is like a ribbon, winding and twisting, and the corridor is full of exquisite paintings, each telling an ancient story. Walking in it, it seems to have traveled through time and space and returned to that glorious era.
Coming out of the corridor is Wanshou Mountain. Climbing up the steps, the Buddhist Incense Pavilion stands tall on the top of the mountain, magnificent and magnificent. Standing in front of the Buddhist Incense Pavilion, overlooking the entire Summer Palace, Kunming Lake is like a huge mirror, the Six Bridges on the West Bank are like a jade belt, and the Yuquan Mountain and the West Mountain in the distance are rolling and undulating, and the scenery is in full view.
After going down the mountain, I came to the stone boat. This stone boat has a beautiful shape, as if it can set sail at any time. Sitting by the stone boat, the breeze blows on your face, and the lake water gently laps the shore, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
The beauty of the Summer Palace lies not only in its natural scenery, but also in its profound historical and cultural heritage. Every scene here carries countless stories, which makes people linger.
Walking in the Summer Palace, the stone stands quietly on the shore, exquisite carvings tell the history of the vicissitudes, people can not help but think about the luxury and majesty of the royal past. On board the cruise ship, the blue waves of Kunming Lake rippled, the breeze was blowing, the Foxiang Pavilion in the distance stood, the 17-hole bridge was like a long rainbow lying wave, the two sides of the weeping willows, the scenery was picturesque, intoxicating, and the body and mind were completely relaxed in this lake and mountains.

The Temple of Heaven Park is the place where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties offered sacrifices to the gods, prayed for good harvests and rain, and is also the largest existing ancient sacrificial building complex in China. The park not only has scenic spots such as the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the Circular Mound, and the Echo Wall, but also many ancient trees that are hundreds of years old, as if telling the changes in history over the past few hundred years.
We entered from the west gate and exited from the south gate, and it took about three hours to visit. It is recommended to enter the scenic area at around 3 pm and go to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests before sunset. The Chinese-style buildings under the golden light are invincible and very beautiful! It’s a pity that the lights of the Temple of Heaven were turned on on Friday and Saturday nights, so I didn’t see it, but the beautiful sunset made up for it. It was a very satisfying travel experience and I recommend everyone to come once!

Although the treasures in the palace of Prince Gong were taken away, even these remaining buildings are enough to our admiration. The most complete theater building with "sounds" in existence, the hidden treasure behind the windows of each room, the western gate of the garden, the Fuzibei in the secret cloud cave, the square pond water raft that needs to be boarded by boat, the bat pool with eucalyptus trees around the shape of bats, Every scene is spent with adults, really the scene has a story everywhere~ and adults you really love life people, I plan to go home and pass the Hexuan out to see [laughing R]
On the weekend of the trip to Prince Gong's Mansion, I arrived at the Prince Gong's Mansion in Beijing and began a journey through time and space. Just stepped into the Mansion, the antique building came into view. This is the largest existing courtyard house in Beijing, once a mansion of Hexuan, and later became the mansion of Prince Gong. Walking in the palace, as if you can feel the weight and vicissitudes of history. Every building is carefully carved, with moths and arches and carved beams, showing the royal style. Follow the central axis and come to Yin'an Palace. This is the main hall of the palace, the palace is magnificent, the center is hung with the "Jialetang" forehead. The rooms on both sides are displayed with various cultural relics and historical materials, which gives a deeper understanding of the history of the palace of Prince Gong. Through the Yin'an Palace, it is the back garden. The scenery here is pleasant, with rockery, pavilions and water rafts scattered. The lakeside pavilion reflects on the water, sparkling, and has a unique charm. The seagull trees in the garden are particularly striking. It is said that this was planted by Prince Gong himself, and they are still lush and leafy. In the palace of Gong Wang, I not only admired the exquisiteness of the ancient buildings, but also felt the changes in history. It witnessed the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty, and it also carried countless stories and legends. Walking around it, it seems to hear the echo of history, making people linger. The trip to the palace of Gong made me have a deeper understanding of Beijing's history and culture. This is a living museum, every brick and tile tells the story of the past.

In the first ring road of Beijing, it is on the central axis, close to the Forbidden City and Beihai, the royal garden, and the distant hills can be close to the inside view of the Forbidden City, and the scenery along Chang'an Street. There are quite a lot of people. Free tickets for the park, advance reservations are required. The park is not big, and it is quite refreshing to go shopping. recommend
The environment is beautiful, the ancient buildings are amazing, and the traces of history are just awesome.

Tickets for 120 yuan can be limited to 5 times in three days to enter and exit the scenic spot. Seniors over 70 years old are free of charge. When checking tickets for each small attraction, you can show your ID card. In early June, the grassland only opened a yellow flower like dandelion, it is best to come after mid-to-late June, which is the most beautiful season of the grassland, and the weather is not bad.
The second time I came, this time there were few people, the experience was very good, the scenic area was very mature in all aspects, that is, the weather was not good and affected the view, but fortunately, the afternoon was sunny, I saw the blue sky, the air was very fresh, hahaha

The Tuancheng of Beihai Park is a small circular castle. Because of its small size and partiality, although the wall is only connected to the wall of Beihai Park, it is often visually taken away by the tall jade archway, Changhong Wave-like white jade bridge and the white tower at the top of Qiongdao. Very easy to be ignored. The core of the Tuancheng City is Chengguang Palace. There is a whole piece of Sakyamuni carved by Han white jade. It is high and white. It is white and immaculate. It is a high monk from Myanmar to give it to the Empress Cixi in the Guangxu period. The temple is square and heavy on the top of the mountain. Each side launched a single-rolled shed-style hull building, the architectural structure is chic and exquisite, is a rare form in Beijing palaces.
Every group of buildings on the northwest line of Beihai Park is amazing. Especially the "Xiao Xitian" known as the "Paradise" fully demonstrates the luxury and dignity of the royal family. Xiao Xitian is a group of temple buildings built by Emperor Qianlong for his mother, Empress Dowager Xiaosheng, to celebrate her birthday and pray for blessings. It is one of the largest square pavilion-style palace buildings in China. The total area is 1,200 square meters, and the crossbeam span is 13.5 meters. The main building of Xiao Xitian is the "Paradise Hall". A golden plaque with the words "Paradise" written by Emperor Qianlong hangs in the hall. There was originally a clay sculpture of Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea. There are 226 Arhat Buddha statues on the mountain. The bottom of the mountain is full of sea water patterns, which symbolizes the Putuo wonderland in the Buddhist world. Therefore, it is called "Arhat Mountain" and "Island". The main hall is surrounded by water and has a bridge. There is a glazed archway in the east, west, south and north. There is a small square pavilion in each corner. A carved stone bridge is built on the Crescent River in the south. The overall building is magnificent and magnificent...

Known as the largest park in Asia, I am a little doubt, because it is not how big the venue is, the key is that the park provides us with a lot of play and walking value, so I am not very deep in this point! The park ticket is 10 yuan, the lake is relatively large, it takes some time to walk, it is very tired, it is recommended to have time to spend some money to walk.
Chaoyang Park is the earliest free park in Beijing. Because it is located in the embassy area of Beijing, it is especially attractive to foreigners. It is not far from the center of the city. People who come here can easily see many people. It is more lively and attractive. It is a popular park.
