The Summer Palace was originally the imperial palace and garden. In 1750 AD, Qianlong was rebuilt here as Qingyi Garden. In 1860, Qingyi Garden was burned down by British and French forces.
In 1888, the Empress Dowager Cixi embezzled 30 million taels of naval funds to rebuild and renamed it to its current name as a summer amusement ground. By 1900, the Summer Palace had been destroyed by the Eight-Nation Alliance, burning down many buildings. Restored in 1903.
Later, during the rule of warlords and Kuomintang, it was destroyed again, and after liberation, it was continuously repaired to rejuvenate this ancient garden.
The area of the Summer Palace is 290 hectares, of which the water surface accounts for about 3 4. The whole garden is centered on the 41-meter-high Buddha Xiang Pavilion on Wanshou Mountain, and according to different locations and terrains, exquisite buildings such as halls, halls, buildings, pavilions, corridors, and pavilions are configured. At the foot of the mountain, a 728-meter-long corridor has been built, like a strip of colored red, connecting various buildings, green mountains, and blue waves.

The Summer Palace is mainly composed of two parts: Kunming Lake and Wanshou Mountain. The total area is more than 290 hectares. The Buddha Xiang Pavilion and the Copper Pavilion built on the mountain on Wanshou Mountain, the kilometer-long gallery built by the lake, the 17-hole bridge and the stone boat in Kunming Lake are all must-see attractions for tourists.
The Summer Palace is located in the western suburbs of Beijing, about 10 kilometers from the city. You can get there by suburban bus or by special tour bus.
This huge garden is surrounded by mountains and waters, although Kunming Lake is large, but the water surface is not monotonous, in addition to the lake is dotted with various buildings around it, there is a South Lake Island in the lake, which is connected to the shore by a beautiful seventeen-hole bridge. On the western side of the lake, there is a west embankment with six bridges of beautiful shape.
There are many attractions in the Summer Palace that imitate some of the advantages of Jiangnan gardens. For example, the Harmony Garden is built in imitation of Wuxi Jichang Garden. The West Causeway is a Su Causeway imitating the West Lake of Hangzhou.
In the middle of the mountain in front of the Summer Palace, there is a group of huge buildings, from the wisdom sea on the top of the mountain, down to the Buddha Xiang Pavilion, Dehui Palace, Paiyun Palace, Paiyun Gate, Yunhui Yuyu Fang, constitute an obvious central axis.
