880 CN - Summer Palace, an Imperial Garden in Beijing (1998)

Brief Description

The Summer Palace in Beijing – first built in 1750, largely destroyed in the war of 1860 and restored on its original foundations in 1886 – is a masterpiece of Chinese landscape garden design. The natural landscape of hills and open water is combined with artificial features such as pavilions, halls, palaces, temples and bridges to form a harmonious ensemble of outstanding aesthetic value.

北京皇家园林-颐和园

北京颐和园,始建于1750年,1860年在战火中严重损毁,1886年在原址上重新进行了修缮。其亭台、长廊、殿堂、庙宇和小桥等人工景观与自然山峦和开阔的湖面相互和谐地融为一体,具有极高的审美价值,堪称中国风景园林设计中的杰作。
