In the forty-eighth year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi gave the North Garden of Changchun Garden in the northern suburb of Beijing to his fourth son, Yong Zhengdi, and named it Yuanmingyuan. During the Yongzheng period, the emperor began to expand the Yuanmingyuan, imitating the symmetrical shape of the central axis of the Forbidden City, extending the central axis to the south, building a palace area and opening up a grand palace gate.
Later, pavilions, pavilions, buildings and pavilions were gradually built to the north, east and west, until the Yuanmingyuan reached 5,200 mu, including 150 scenic spots. Pengdao Yaotai, which was planned as the "Fairy Mountain Castle Map", included many scenic spots in Suzhou, and ten scenic spots of Hangzhou West Lake were also copied to Yuanmingyuan.
Today's Yuanmingyuan Ruins Park has become a memorial park to show this history to the world. Some architectural sites, garden landscapes and stone carvings are reserved in the park for tourists to visit, understand and feel the glory and vicissitudes of Yuanmingyuan.
In Yuanmingyuan Ruins Park, visitors can see the ruins of famous scenic spots such as Dashuifa, Yuanyingguan, Pengdao Yaotai, and other garden landscapes such as Xiyanglou, Jiuqu Bridge and Liuyang Wenying. At the same time, Yuanmingyuan Ruins Park has also carried out a series of patriotic education activities, aiming to let more people understand and inherit this history.
