The broken walls of the Old Summer Palace do have many interesting stories. Here are a few of them: 1. Magnificent Garden Construction: The Old Summer Palace was an imperial garden built under the order of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. It covers hundreds of hectares and is filled with magnificent palaces, lakes, gardens and rockeries. The broken walls in the garden are part of the remaining buildings in the garden. They were once part of the palace, attic and wall, showing the spectacular scene of that time. 2. Burning by the British and French Allied Forces: The Old Summer Palace was burned down by the British and French Allied Forces in 1860. This is a sad piece of history. When the British and French allied forces invaded Beijing, they regarded the Old Summer Palace as a place rich in cultural and artistic treasures and looted it, eventually setting fire to most of the buildings, including the broken walls. 3. Disappearance of art treasures: The buildings and gardens in the Old Summer Palace are famous for their luxurious decorations and precious cultural works of art. However, the burning incident caused the disappearance of almost all of these art treasures, preventing us from getting a glimpse of the splendor and luxury of the time. 4. Reconstruction and Protection: Since the 20th century, the Chinese government has been working hard to protect and restore the Old Summer Palace. Visiting now is like a walk in the park Late in October, on Halloween night, The ghosts in the Old Summer Palace are terrifying. The past is gone like smoke, Only a broken wall remains. The lights are dim and the moon is slanting. Who remembers him in this lonely deserted garden? The past luxury has vanished like smoke, Today the lonely years pass. The sound of ghosts and resentment reaches my ears, The past is like a dream. The ghost dances, the soul is still there, Who can see the nostalgia? Halloween night recalls the past, The Old Summer Palace was desolate. Ghosts wandering around with nowhere to go, All I could hear was the sound of the wind breaking the walls. source: chatgpt #Sign up for hotel test sleeper #BeijingImperialPalace #Halloween2023

It is the most beautiful park i have ever seen. You can get all the basic information about the three gardens in old summer palace on various websites. Personally I found fuhai area to be the most serene and beautiful area of the park. It's covered in dense trees and opening leads to the lake. One can walk along side the lake or sit at a bench and enjoy the view. Changchun garden is beautiful. There is a lotus viewing area although to be frank, there were only handful of lotuses when I visited. Nevertheless its beautiful. #beijingtrip

Visited here first time. Yuanmingyuan park has great legend connecting to the Ming Dynasty. The whole park was pretty big. Some people call it Old Yiheyuan. It was great. By the way next to the park there was Peking University and Tsinghua university. If have spare time you can visit the university camps. #beijing #yuanmingyuan Getting There - easy but little far from the downtown.

The Yuanmingyuan Kyushu Scenic Area, the people are less beautiful, the misunderstood true Yuanmingyuan has been floating in the emperor for more than ten years, Yuanmingyuan is still the first time. Originally thought that tourists preferred the Summer Palace, I did not expect that the Yuanmingyuan is also a sea of people. It is estimated that the Eight-Power Allied Forces won the Yuanmingyuan and there were not so many people Jiuzhou Scenic Area separated by a lake, but even the semi-personal shadows were difficult to see, but fortunately Fortunately, I can finally figure it out. In fact, Yuanmingyuan, which was built in the 46th year of Kangxi (1707), consists of Yuanmingyuan, Changchun Garden and Hunchun Garden. It is distributed in the word "good" and Changchun Garden is in the east. The Yuanmingyuan is in the west, the Hunchun Garden is in the south, and the Kyushu Scenic Area is the main body of the Yuanmingyuan, one of the three gardens (not the Yuanmingyuan in the broad sense). The Kyushu Scenic Area is centered on the lake, surrounded by nine small islands, followed by: "Jiuzhou Qingyi", "Yueyue Kaiyun", "Natural Picture", "Bitong Academy", "Ciyunpu Protection" , "Up and Down Skylight", "Xinghua Spring Pavilion", "Tantan", "Rugu Hanjin", and the surrounding "Changchun Xianguan", "Shan Gaoshui", "Wanfanganhe" and so on The star-shaped distribution. This scenic spot is the core area of Yuanmingyuan and is dominated by banquets. The exquisite temples, pavilions, buildings, churches, pavilions and other buildings on the Houhujiu Island and the various types of rocks, trees, flowers and grasses form a landscape that is independent and mutually borrowed. The lakes and mountains are really beautiful and quiet.
