Introduction of chengde mountain resort attractions:
From 170 1, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty explored the Jehol in xifengkou, and from 1703 (forty-two years of Kangxi), he began to dig lakes and build dikes until 1792 Tang De was built, which lasted more than 90 years. During this period, Kanggan flourished and its national strength was strong. Agriculture is fully developed, population is increased, commerce is developed, class relations are improved, and there are sufficient human and financial resources to build large gardens. However, China's garden art reached its peak from the embryonic stage of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, through the formation period of the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the development period of the Tang and Song Dynasties and the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Especially through the fusion of poetry and painting in the garden art in Tang and Song Dynasties and the opening to the outside world in Ming and Qing Dynasties, the ancient gardening art in China developed to a pure state in Qing Dynasty, and reached the artistic peak in dealing with the true landscape and the unity of man and nature. The Summer Resort is not only large-scale, but also makes full use of the original landscape features and favorable conditions of natural landscape in the overall planning layout and garden architectural design, absorbs the excellent gardening traditions of Tang, Song, Ming and past dynasties and the creative experience of Jiangnan gardens, and integrates and perfects them, pushing the level of garden art and technology to an unprecedented height and becoming the highest model of classical gardens in China. The total area of the Summer Palace is 5.6 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the sum of the areas of the two Summer Palace. It is the largest existing royal garden in China, with 72 human landscapes such as Kangxi, Qianlong, Qin and so on *** 120 groups. 1994, UNESCO World Heritage Center listed the Summer Resort and its surrounding temples in the World Heritage List.
The Summer Resort was founded in the 42nd year of Kangxi (1703) and completed in the 55th year of Qianlong, which lasted 87 years. It was the place where the emperors of the Qing Dynasty spent the summer and handled government affairs. It is a famous ancient palace in China. This large-scale garden has 10 buildings, including halls, halls, pavilions, pavilions, halls and temples. Its biggest feature is that there are gardens in the mountains and mountains in the gardens. Mountains account for 4/5 of the whole garden area. From the peak in the northwest to the swamp and plain in the southeast, the relative height difference is 180 meters, forming a landscape surrounded by mountains and valleys, with clear springs flowing in the valleys and deep forests. At that time, many gardens and temples were built by using mountains, cliffs, foothills and mountain streams, among which the most striking was the pavilion on the two opposite peaks, one called "Nanshan Snow" and the other called "Huanyun Mountain". From the pavilion, you can see all the scenic spots in the villa, several big temples outside the villa, and the strange peaks and rocks on the surrounding mountains in Chengde city. On another mountain peak, there is a pavilion called "Hammer Peak Sunset", and Hammer Peak first comes into view. Whenever the sun goes down, the hammer peak is resplendent and magnificent by Xia Hong, hence the name "sunset on the hammer peak".
The wall of the villa is 3m high,1.5m wide and10km long. There is a crib on the wall for patrolling and fighting. The fence climbed over the mountain and bent tightly. The locals call it "Little Great Wall".
This large-scale garden has more than 100 buildings, including temples, halls, buildings, pavilions, pavilions, halls and temples. The architectural layout of the villa can be roughly divided into two parts: the palace area and the garden scenic area. Garden scenic spots can be divided into three parts: lake area, plain area and mountain area.
The main buildings in the palace area are the places where the Emperor handled government affairs and Empress Dowager Cixi lived, including Gong Zheng, Song Hezhai, Wanhe Song Feng and Dongfang (destroyed) buildings. The main hall is the main building in the palace area, including 9 courtyards, which are divided into "vestibule" and "back bedroom". The main hall is called "Lianjingbo City", which is made of precious nanmu, so it is also called Nanmu Hall. All kinds of grand ceremonies are held here. The back hall is called "Four Knowledge Bookstore", "Smoke makes you cool" and "Yunshan Resort", which is the place where the emperor handles state affairs, studies and lives. Other attractions include: Summer Resort Gate, Qin Zheng Hall, Viva Photo Studio, Ma Xia Monument and Yunshan Holiday Building.
Although the lake area is not as large as Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace, due to the scattered islands, the lake is divided into five lakes by long dikes and islands, and there are bridges between the lakes. Tree-lined on both sides, winding and beautiful. Most of the scenic spots in the lake area are modeled after the scenic spots in the south of the Yangtze River, such as the Yanyu Building, which is modeled after the Yanyu Building in Nanhu, Jiaxing, Zhejiang. The layout of Jinshan Island is imitated from Jinshan in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu. There are two groups of buildings on the two islands in the lake, one is called "Ruyi Island" and the other is called "Moonlight River Sound". There are rockeries, pavilions, halls, temples, pools and other buildings on Ruyi Island, which are cleverly laid out and are the center of the scenic spot. "Moonlight River Sound" consists of an exquisite quadrangle and several pavilions. Whenever the bright moon is in the sky on Dongshan night, the crisp moonlight reflects the calm lake water, and everything in the villa is silent, only the lake beats against the embankment and makes a pleasant sound, hence the title of "Moonlight River Sound".
