The Summer Palace, formerly known as Qingyi Garden, is located in the northwest suburb of Beijing with beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery. Founded in 1750, it is the last feudal flourishing age in China-"Kanggan flourishing age". 1860 In the Second Opium War, Qingyi Garden was burned by the British and French allied forces. 1886, the Qing government allocated funds such as naval military expenses to rebuild it. Two years later, it was renamed the Summer Palace as the place where Empress Dowager Cixi lived in her later years. Since then, the Summer Palace has become the most important political and diplomatic activity center of the supreme ruler in the late Qing Dynasty outside the Forbidden City. It is an important witness of China's modern history and a place where many major historical events took place. 1898, Emperor Guangxu met with Kang Youwei, a reformist thinker, in Renshou Hall of the Summer Palace and asked about political reform. After the failure of political reform, Guangxu was imprisoned in Yulantang in the garden for a long time. 1900, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing, the Summer Palace was looted again, and the Qing government rebuilt it in 1902. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Summer Palace became the main residence of the supreme ruler of China. Cixi and Guangxu sat here listening to politics, issuing imperial edicts and receiving foreign guests.

1924, the Summer Palace was opened to the public. The Summer Palace is an important witness of China's modern history!

The Summer Palace is a collection of traditional garden arts. With the help of the surrounding landscape environment, it is full of the grandeur and richness of the royal gardens in China, and it is also full of natural interest, which highly embodies the gardening principle of "although it is man-made, it is natural". Wanshou Mountain and Kunming Lake constitute its basic framework, covering an area of 2.97 square kilometers, accounting for about three quarters of the water surface. There are more than 0/00 scenic buildings/kloc-,more than 20 courtyards, more than 3,000 ancient buildings, covering an area of more than 70,000 square meters, and more than 600 ancient and famous trees/kloc-. Among them, Buddha Pavilion, Promenade, Zhou Shi, Suzhou Street, Seventeen-hole Bridge, Humorous Garden, and Grand Stage have all become well-known representative buildings.

The main scenic spots in the park are roughly divided into three areas: the political activity area represented by the solemn Renshou Hall, which is the main place for Cixi and Guangxu to engage in internal affairs, diplomacy and political activities in the late Qing Dynasty. The living quarters represented by courtyards such as Leshou Hall, Yulantang and Yiyuntang are the places where Cixi, Guangxu and Empress Dowager lived. The vast area consisting of the promenade, the back hill and the western district is a garden tour area for emperors to relax and entertain. On the central axis of the southern foot of Wanshou Mountain, the resplendent buildings of Buddha Pavilion and Paiyun Temple start from Yunhui Yuyu archway on the lakeshore, pass through Paiyun Gate, Ergongmen, Paiyun Hall, Dehui Hall and Buddha Pavilion, and finally reach the wisdom sea at the top of the mountain. There are many corridors, and the halls are complex, rising layer by layer and running through the green houses, with great momentum. The towering Buddha Pavilion has eight sides and three floors, facing the mountain and the lake, overlooking the whole garden. The winding west dike is like a green ribbon, spanning Tianhan from north to south. There are six bridges on the dike, which are slim and graceful and have different shapes. In the vast Kunming Lake, the majestic 17-hole bridge, such as Changhong Crescent Moon, is reflected on the water, and the three islands, Hanxu Hall, Jianzao Hall and Zhijing Pavilion, stand tall, implying the legendary "Fairy Mountain on the Sea". I looked at the picture of Nongzhi, which was soft and picturesque. Emperor Qianlong once saw the living paintings of farming and weaving here, which was very interesting in the countryside. Suzhou Street, which is connected with a thousand lakes and a river, is full of wine, breezy and bustling with shops, as if it were in the Royal Shopping Street more than 200 years ago, and the humorous garden is full of fun. On the bank of Kunming Lake, there are famous Zhou Shi, lifelike bronze bull, Zhichun Pavilion and other scenic buildings.

Over the years, the Summer Palace Management Office has taken "building a garden with culture" as the goal, guided employees with the corporate culture of "one spirit, five consciousnesses and six first-class", dug deep into the cultural connotation, vigorously promoted the protection, management and research of the Summer Palace, and established a complete protection and management system of the Summer Palace with borrowing scenery, landscape system, ancient cultural relics and vegetation landscape as the core protection contents. Especially since the reform and opening up, the Summer Palace has accelerated the pace of construction and protection. It has invested heavily in restoring four scenic spots, namely, four continents, Suzhou Street, Jingming Building, Lianningtang and Farming Map, and actively participated in the transformation of the surrounding environment, thus continuing the historical and humanistic environment of the Summer Palace, restoring the integrity and authenticity of the cultural heritage, and building the Wenchang Academy Museum with the most advanced garden system in China.

196 1 On March 4th, the Summer Palace was announced as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units. 1998 65438+On February 2nd, the Summer Palace was listed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO for its rich historical and cultural accumulation, beautiful natural environment landscape and excellent protection and management, and was regarded as a powerful symbol of one of the major civilizations in the world. In recent years, the Summer Palace has won many honorary titles, such as the first batch of national civilized scenic spots demonstration sites, the first batch of national advanced units for spiritual civilization construction, and the first batch of national AAAA-level scenic spots.
