It can be said that it is a good time for summer vacation. If you want to go to the summer resort, you might as well go to Chengde summer resort. The area of the summer resort is as large as 564 hectares, even the summer palace and the Old Summer Palace are out of reach. When you come here, you must be deeply shocked by her magnificent scenery and marvel at the superb gardening skills of the ancients.
Summer resort is the epitome of China's natural landforms, a brilliant milestone in the history of Chinese gardens, and the highest example of Chinese classical gardens. Summer resort, also known as Rehe palace, is located in the north of Chengde City Center in Hebei Province, on the West Bank of martyrs river. As the highest model of royal gardens, the summer resort is not only a summer resort for the Qing Dynasty emperors, but also an important administrative site.
As excellent royal gardens, the Yuanmingyuan and the summer palace have great artistic achievements at home and abroad. However, they copy the natural landscape by digging lakes and piling mountains, which is hard to find the true meaning of natural landscape. And the summer resort is the real sense of the unity of man and nature. Without too much manual intervention, we make full use of the existing landscape and terrain to create a simple and elegant artistic style, which highlights the natural taste of the Li Gong BIE yuan.
Chengde summer resort is mainly divided into four parts: palace area, Huzhou District, plain area and mountain area.
The palace area is located in the southernmost part of the villa, where the palaces are dense and adopt the traditional symmetrical layout. The exterior of the building does not have too many colored paintings and carvings, and is integrated with the surrounding natural landscape, which is solemn and atmospheric.
The north of Xinggong district is Huzhou district. Huzhou district is located in the center of the whole villa, which is the essence of the whole garden. Its layout and Yuanmingyuan are similar, are the layout of water around the island. There are mainly two islands in the lake. There are two groups of buildings on the island. One group is called Ruyi Island, the other is called "Moonlight River sound". Both of them are very famous scenic spots.
The north of Huzhou district is the plain area. There are few buildings in the plain area, mainly grassland and forest. It is not only a horse racing venue for the emperor, but also an important political activity center.
The mountain area is located in the west of the villa, with a large area, accounting for more than half of the whole park area. Different from the traditional garden, the buildings in the mountain area are mostly distributed in the mountains. In the mountain forest where the height difference is scattered, the building of the building is looming, full of mysterious atmosphere. It is rare and unique in the history of Chinese garden to build buildings in the natural forest. Integrated with nature, you can get a shade even in the hot summer.
The northeast corner of the villa is surrounded by the famous temple group Waiba temple. The temples are all Tibetan Buddhist temples, and their architectural layout is similar to the Potala Palace in Tibet. Although it is not as large as the Potala Palace, it also has the same style. Even those who have not been to the Potala Palace can still admire the momentum of the Potala Palace in Tibet. Although it is called Waiba temple, there are not only eight temples, but 13 temples to be exact. Each temple has its own characteristics, surrounded by the mountain villa, showing the power of stars supporting the moon, which symbolizes the close relationship between the imperial court and the border areas, and also symbolizes the high degree of national unity.
