- Attractions Introduction -
The Old Summer Palace is located at No. 28, Qinghua West Road, Haidian District, with Tsinghua University to the east, Peking University to the south, and the Summer Palace to the west. It was built in the 46th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign (1707) and consists of three gardens: Yuanming Garden, Changchun Garden and Qichun Garden, covering an area of 3.5 million square meters, of which the water area is about 1.4 million square meters. There are more than 100 gardens and landscapes in the garden, with a construction area of more than 160,000 square meters. It is a large royal palace created and operated by the emperors of the Qing Dynasty for more than 150 years. The Old Summer Palace inherited China's excellent garden-building tradition of more than 3,000 years. It has both the gracefulness and beauty of Jiangnan water town gardens and the elegance and luxury of palace architecture. At the same time, the Old Summer Palace also absorbed European garden architectural forms, integrating garden architecture of different styles.
