The Summer Palace in Beijing, China

อ่านภาษาไทย พระราชวังฤดูร้อน(อี๋เหอหยวน) เมืองปักกิ่ง ประเทศจีน

The day after we visited Hutong, day 6 in our Beijing adventure, now we’re going to visit the Summer Palace!

The palace is recognized as ‘The Museum of Royal Gardens’, located northwest of Beijing’s center, is easily accessible from most parts of the city.

The Summer Palace covers an expanse of 2.9 square kilometers include the Kunming Lake and the hill is about 60 meters (200 feet) high…

The central Kunming Lake covering 2.2 square kilometers was entirely man made (!!!).

The excavated soil was used to build Longevity Hill. So many buildings are on the hill – it’s fun to walk up!
The construction started in 1750 as a luxurious royal garden for royal families to rest and entertain.

In December 1998, UNESCO included the Summer Palace on its World Heritage List. It declared the Summer Palace “a masterpiece of Chinese landscape garden design.

This Long Corridor is 700 meters long, and considered the longest corridor in the world!

The Summer Palace served as a summer resort especially for Empress Dowager Tzu-shi, with beautiful gardens including the Seventeen-Arch Bridge and the wonderful Kunming lake…

We visited the Summer palace during April, it’s nice tree and flowers in this time but it’s as hot as Thailand!!!

We considered the Summer Palace as the top 3 tourist attractions in Beijing…It’s natural beauty and the grandeur of royal gardens was awesome…

Don’t miss it!

ECOSYSTEM

Positive growth.

Nature, in the common sense, refers to essences unchanged by man; space, the air, the river, the leaf. Art is applied to the mixture of his will with the same things, as in a house, a canal, a statue, a picture.

But his operations taken together are so insignificant, a little chipping, baking, patching, and washing, that in an impression so grand as that of the world on the human mind, they do not vary the result.

Wind turbines standing on a grassy plain, against a blue sky.

The sun shining over a ridge leading down into the shore. In the distance, a car drives down a road.

Undoubtedly we have no questions to ask which are unanswerable. We must trust the perfection of the creation so far, as to believe that whatever curiosity the order of things has awakened in our minds, the order of things can satisfy. Every man’s condition is a solution in hieroglyphic to those inquiries he would put.
