Summer Palace
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.
The Summer Palace in Beijing
integrates numerous traditional halls and pavilions into the Imperial Garden conceived
by the Qing emperor Qianlong between 1750 and 1764 as the Garden of Clear
Ripples. Using Kunming Lake, the former reservoir of the Yuan dynasty’s capital
and Longevity Hill as the basic framework, the Summer Palace combined political
and administrative, residential, spiritual, and recreational functions within a
landscape of lakes and mountains, in accordance with the Chinese philosophy of
balancing the works of man with nature. Destroyed during the war in 1850s, it
was reconstructed by Emperor Guangxu for use by Empress Dowager Cixi and
renamed the Summer Palace.
Although damaged again during
the Boxer Rebellion in 1900 it was restored and has been a public park since
1924. The central feature of the Administrative area, the Hall of Benevolence
and Longevity is approached through the monumental East Palace Gate. The
connecting Residential area comprises three building complexes: The Halls of
Happiness in Longevity, Jade Ripples and Yiyun, all built up against the Hill
of Longevity, with fine views over the lake. These are linked by roofed
corridors which connect to the Great Stage to the east and the Long Corridor to
the West.
