Yuanmingyuan Park Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Old Summer Palace is a famous imperial garden constructed throughout the 18th and 19th centuries during the Qing Dynasty. It consists of three sections: Yuanming Garden, Changchun Garden, and Yichun Garden. Its excellent view earned it the reputation of "the garden of gardens." However in 1860, British and French troops burned the main buildings into ashes. These days, tourists can only look at the wreckage and imagine its glory during the time of the Qing Dynasty. If your imagination is not good enough, you can learn more about what the garden looked like through the miniature model in Changchun Garden.

This park, is not just one of your tourist spots. Take time to read Victor Hugo's comments. Try to make sense what happened here.這不只是個景點而已， 值得國人深思。
The park is known for its beautiful landscapes, including lakes, hills and bridges. Visitors appreciate this unique combination of architecture and nature, as well as the tranquil atmosphere the park offers
Once a vast imperial garden complex for the emperors of the Qing dynasty, Yuanmingyuan is renowned for its grandeur, artistic design and cultural importance.
The Old Summer Palace, also known as Yuanmingyuan or Yuanmingyuan Park, originally called the Imperial Gardens, and sometimes called the Winter Palace, was a complex of palaces and gardens in present-day Haidian District, Beijing, China.
Spending half a day at Yuanmingyuan Park in Beijing is a captivating mix of history and natural beauty. Arriving in the morning, I began exploring the vast ruins of the Old Summer Palace, marveling at the remnants of Western-style stone structures and ornate Chinese pavilions. Walking through the picturesque gardens, I enjoyed the serene lakes and winding pathways, capturing the essence of its former grandeur. I visited the stunning lotus ponds and crossed elegant bridges.
