The predecessor of the Summer Palace was the Qingyi Garden.

It was built by Emperor Qianlong to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday.

It is built between Wanshou Mountain and Kunming Lake.


In order to obtaingood sign

When planning to build the Summer Palace,

Designed by Emperor Qianlong himself

He ordered that Kunming Lake be divided into an inner lake and an outer lake.


Overlooking the entire Kunming Lake from a distance,

It actually formed aBirthday Peachshape.


In addition, the entire Summer Palace was built on the Longevity Hill.

So there is "Fushan Shouhai" is a good intention.


Although the Summer Palace is a royal garden in the north,

But it is full ofJiangnan Style

It was probably after Emperor Qianlong visited Jiangnan seven times.

Love for Southern Gardens


The overall layout of the Summer Palace

All are based onHangzhou West LakeBuilt for the model.

There are six bridges on Su Causeway in West Lake, Hangzhou

The Summer Palace also has the Six West Bank Bridges.


Jiehu Bridge

It is named after the boundary between the inner and outer lakes.


Binfeng Bridge

The bridge was named "Binfeng" to show the emperor's emphasis on agriculture and sericulture.


Jade Belt Bridge

The arch is tall and thin, carved from white marble.

It is curved in shape, like a jade belt, hence the name.


Mirror Bridge

The beautiful scenery of "two waters surrounded by a mirror, two bridges with rainbows falling"

Hence the name


Bridge training

"The clear river is as quiet as a mirror"

Like a white silk hanging on the water,

Hence the name


Yanagibashi

Because the West Bank is covered with weeping willows,

This bridge is also hidden among the willow trees.

Hence the name Liuqiao.


In addition to the Six Bridges,

besidesSuzhou Street full of Jiangnan style, also known as the shopping street,

There are all kinds of shops on the street.

Jade antiques, dim sum and teahouses,

Silks, satins, gold, silver and jewelry


Of course, the Summer Palace has its own characteristics.

The longest corridor in Chinese gardensIt is located inside the Summer Palace and is 723 meters long.


Every beam on the corridor is painted.

Painting flowers, birds, fish and insects, legendary stories,

There are more than 14,000 paintings in total!


The residential area of ​​the Summer Palace is an indispensable part.

Leshou Hall is the main building of this part.

Bronze cranes, bronze deer and bronze vases are displayed in the courtyard, symbolizing "six harmonies and peace".


There are also variousPrecious flowers

Especially magnolia, crabapple, peony, etc., which symbolize "wealth and honor".


Speaking of the Summer Palace, one would think of Cixi.Queen Mother,

And hereDehe Garden Theater

It was built to celebrate Cixi's 60th birthday.


The most unique shapeQingyan Boat

Qingyan Fang, also known as Shifang, is a large stone boat.


The whole building is made of marble and is two stories high.

There are four faucets at the four corners of the roof for drainage.


In addition to pavilions and towers,

The sunset scenery of the Summer Palace is also fascinating.

The most attractive thing is the annualSeventeen-Arch Bridge: Golden Light Shines Through the Holes.


Around the winter solstice every year,

The 17 arches of the Seventeen-Arch Bridge in the Summer Palace

will beThe afterglow of the setting sun illuminates everything

It presents an extremely magnificent scene.


The setting sun first dyed the bridge hole into champagne color.

Then it slowly turned into orange.

At first glance, I thought someone had lit up bright lights in the bridge arch.

The bridge hole is reflected in the water, which looks particularly warm and gentle.


Some people say that this is a coincidental natural landscape, but in fact it contains a mystery.

The designer cleverly grasped the law of solar changes.

This adds a touch of genius to the Summer Palace.


In addition to its magnificent and beautiful buildings,

There are many interesting stories circulating


In the early years, Cixi renovated the Summer Palace into aHeaven and Earth

Kunming Lake is compared to the Milky Way, and in that Milky Way there must be the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

So he ordered people to place a bronze bull in the middle of the lake.

A Weaver Girl Pavilion was built next to the stone boat.


Legend has it that one year on Chinese Valentine's Day, the bronze bull suddenly came to life and swam towards the Weaver Girl Pavilion.

However, Kunming Lake was too big and the bronze bull sank halfway through its swim.

After Cixi discovered that the bronze bull was missing,

Then he quickly ordered another one to be placed in the same position.

In order to prevent it from wandering away again, it was tied with an iron chain.


On the second Qixi Festival, the iron chain still failed to tie up the bronze bull.

Several strong men desperately grabbed the bronze bull's tail.

So much so that you use too much force,The tail of the bronze bull is broken


Later, someone found a thicker chain.

Then he tied up the bronze ox.

From then on, there was a bronze bull with a broken tail beside Kunming Lake.


The picture below is a building called Baoyun Pavilion.

Because of itsSpecial building materials

Very famous.


Why is it special?

The attic we usually see,

Most of them are built of wood or bricks.

The entire Baoyun Pavilion is made up ofbrassBuild.


What is even more puzzling is that it cannot be burned.

The situation was turbulent at that time

Many buildings were destroyed in the fire.

Only Baoyun Pavilion remains in its original state.

It's amazing.


Maybe you will think that it may be because of the special material of Baoyun Pavilion.

So it is normal that it does not burn out.

ThatBuddhist Incense TowerThe story is really puzzling.


When the Buddhist Incense Pavilion was being built,

Emperor Qianlong originally wanted to build a nine-story pagoda.

But when the tower was built to the eighth floor,

SurprisinglyIt collapsed without any warning!


At this time, disasters also occurred in other places.

Emperor Qianlong thought it was a warning from heaven.

The plan was changed to build it into three floors.


However, the most bizarre incident was the Buddha statue incident in the 1980s.


There is a Buddha statue in the Buddha Incense Pavilion now.

This Buddha statue was transported from a temple in the city.

And it was not complete when it arrived.

There is a piece missing from the top of the Buddha's head.

It really looks awkward.


When everyone was at a loss for repairs,

Someone suggested that the warehouse in the Summer Palace

There is a Buddha head that you can try.


The Buddha head is placed on the Buddha statue.

It fits perfectly.

It looks like a whole.


This test surprised everyone.

This Buddha head was previously salvaged from Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace.

The Buddha statue is in the temple in the city.

How can the two be combined into one?

No one has been able to solve it yet.


The mystery of the Summer Palace

Plus the beautiful scenery,

It makes people yearn for it even more.


No matter what season it is,

The Summer Palace always exudes charming charm.


Well, now that I know the anecdotes about the Summer Palace,

Don’t you find it interesting?

If you visit the Summer Palace,

That's a story to tell.
