This is the most important attraction in Changchun Garden. Although there are only some incomplete stone materials, it can still see the value of the glory years and art before. Now only a clock tower is still relatively complete.
The landscape of the West Building covers an area of 80 mu, about1.5% of the total area of the Yuanmingyuan. It is located in the northeast corner. It is the first European-style garden built in China. The location is not very important. From west to east, it includes the harmonic, yellow flower array, bird cage, Wuzhu pavilion, square appearance, Haitang, Water storage building, overlooking, large water law, water law, line law mountain, Fanghe, line law painting and other landscapes, building materials are mostly made of Han white jade, stone surfaces are finely carved, roof covered with glazed tiles, covering an area of about seven hectares. The popularly known stone pillars are only a view of the distant view and the water law. Because of the unique and incomplete beauty of the Western architecture, they became the symbol of the Summer Palace. In 1860, the "Fire to the Summer Palace" was burned down. From 1977 to 1992, the sites of the Western Building were cleaned up, the base site of the temple was cleared, the fountain pool was renovated, the pillar wall stone pieces were returned, and the maze "Yellow Flower Array" was restored.
The site of the West Building is a place that you must visit when you come to the Yuanmingyuan. It takes half an hour to walk in from the gate of the Yuanmingyuan. It is very convenient to take a boat. It is a historical memory to remember.
The site of the Xiyanglou is located in the northeast corner of the Yuanmingyuan Park Scenic Area. It belongs to the core scenic area of the Yuanmingyuan. The Yuanmingyuan is called the Garden of Wanyuan mainly because the essence of the building here is a world model. If you are not full-priced tickets, you need to buy another 15 yuan and a discount ticket is 5 yuan. After being looted by the eight-nation coalition, only relics can be seen here today.
The West Building is located in one of the ruins areas in the Yuanmingyuan Park. For the northeast corner of the Yuanmingyuan, the face is not particularly large. If you look carefully, you can see it in an hour. If you walk around and watch the flowers, you can take half an hour. Don't want buildings that include harmonica, as well as Haitang, big water law and other buildings. Now, because the invasion of the eight-country coalition is already unremarkable, there is only a bunch of tiles left. You need to buy additional tickets to enter this area. Of course, you can also buy a pass directly. It is the most worth visiting place in the Yuanmingyuan. Find a guide to understand the story better.
The site of the Xiyanglou is in the northeast area of the entire scenic spot of the Yuanmingyuan. You can go to the east gate of the Yuanmingyuan Scenic Area. It is the closest to the Xiyanglou. The ticket is 10 yuan. It is free on the Patriotic Education Day on September 15. It is worth a visit to learn about that history. There are many group explanations inside, so you must listen to them.
The site of the Western Building after the invasion is completely a ruin, in fact, it is easy and convenient to rebuild, but the look is the remains here, once we were bullied behind but now we have been strong and can not forget the history.
