Yuanmingyuan covers an area of 3.5 square kilometers, with a building area of 200,000 square meters and more than 50 scenic spots/kloc-0. Known as the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens". Every summer, the imperial capital of Qing Dynasty comes here to escape the heat, listen to politics and deal with military and political affairs, so it is also called "Summer Palace".
Yuanmingyuan was built in 1707 (forty-six years of Kangxi). It was originally a gift from Emperor Kangxi to his fourth son, Yin Zhen. Kangxi wrote Yuanmingyuan in the name of Yongzheng.
Extended data:
Yuanmingyuan is not only a treasure house, but also the largest royal museum and art gallery in the world at that time, with many treasures, books and artistic masterpieces. There are famous calligraphy and painting, secret house classics, Zhong Ding treasures, gold and silver jewelry and other precious cultural relics, which condense the essence of ancient culture. Yuanmingyuan is also a garden of exotic flowers and plants, with millions of rare flowers and trees.
It is a mystery how many cultural relics the Yuanmingyuan once collected. Whether it is the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace or other cultural relics buildings, there will be relevant exhibition files to record the cultural relics owned by the buildings, while the Yuanmingyuan lacks exhibition files.
Hugo, a great French writer, once said, "Even if all the treasures of China museums are added together, it can't compare with this magnificent Oriental Museum." The lobby of the park is decorated with countless mahogany furniture and displays many rare cultural relics at home and abroad. Garden Hanyuan Pavilion is one of the four royal libraries in China.
