Main attractions

the Summer Palace

Located in the northwest suburb of Beijing, the summer palace is mainly composed of Wanshou mountain and Kunming Lake. As early as the yuan and Ming Dynasties, it became a famous tourist attraction with its beautiful and natural pastoral scenery. Today's Wanshou mountain is known as wengshan in the Yuan Dynasty. It is said that an old man dug out a stone urn full of treasures on the mountain. There is a lake in front of the mountain, named wengshanpo. In 1292 A.D. (from Yuan Dynasty to Yuan 29 A.D.), scientist Guo Shoujing excavated the Tonghui River, collected the spring water from Changping and Xishan into the lake, and poured it into the palace wall to facilitate the water transportation. Wengshanpo became the water storage reservoir to transfer water to the capital. From then on to Ming Dynasty, many influential temples were built around the lake, especially the "dachengtian Husheng Temple" on the northwest Bank of the lake, with the largest scale and magnificent buildings. The Han white jade fishing platform extended into the lake, where the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty often went boating and fishing.

In the Ming Dynasty, wengshanpo was renamed as the West Lake, which was "ten miles around the lake, a resort for a county". Every year when the peach blossoms and willows are green, the people in the capital support the old and carry the young, and strive to go to the West Lake for an outing to enjoy the spring. At that time, people still had the reputation of "ten temples of West Lake" and "ten sceneries of West Lake".

It's a place to visit beautiful women. " Because of the low-lying terrain here, the mountains and waters in Xishan area accumulate here. In 1773, the lake was dredged to receive water from Xiangshan river. In addition, a sluice was built at Xiakou to store and discharge water from the lake. The river was diverted from Sanli River to Fuchengmen moat. There is a palace in the East. The lake is silted up and overgrown with weeds. After liberation, with the Yongding River water diversion project, a new lake of about 10 hectares was dug in the old Hunan, which is like a gourd and named Bayi lake. There is an experimental hydropower station in the downstream. After the construction of Miyun Reservoir in 1960, the diversion canal from Kunming Lake to Yuyuantan at the south end of the diversion project converged with Yongding River Diversion Canal at luodaozhuang and flowed into the moat through Yuyuantan. In recent years, great efforts have been made to build the park, build the road around the lake, and build the corridor point view buildings in the park, gradually enriching the park. Yuyuantan is not only a place with pleasant scenery, quiet environment and dense trees, but also plays a role of water diversion and flood regulation in Beijing water conservancy projects.
