Yuanmingyuan is known as the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens". What other gardens can't compare with?

Because the Yuanmingyuan was one of the largest gardens in the world before it was burned down in Eight-Nation Alliance, its architectural style, building area and the number of treasures are rare in the world. Hugo once praised Yuanmingyuan as a "model of all gardening arts", so it is well-deserved as a "garden of ten thousand gardens".

First of all, the building area of Yuanmingyuan is very vast. Its total construction area can basically be equivalent to the area of 500 standard football fields, and the water area of Yuanmingyuan can be compared with that of the last Summer Palace. In fact, Yuanmingyuan is a general term for many gardens, including Changchun Garden, Qichun Garden and Xiyanglou Scenic Area.

The architectural style of Yuanmingyuan is unmatched by other gardens. In Yuanmingyuan, there are countless skilled craftsmen who copied the scene of Suzhou gardens and created the scene of Suzhou-Hangzhou small bridge flowing water. There are about 145 famous scenic spots at home and abroad in Yuanmingyuan, with exotic flowers and grasses, filling lakes and piling mountains, which are all common things in Yuanmingyuan. There are not only Chinese-style bustling markets, pavilions and pavilions, but also magnificent palaces in western gardens.

Tens of thousands of art treasures, paintings and calligraphy works and precious cultural relics in Yuanmingyuan are incomparable to other gardens and even museums. The treasures in Yuanmingyuan have been basically burned out since the British and French allied forces burned Yuanmingyuan, and the rest are scattered all over the world. Basically, museums all over the country have the treasures of Yuanmingyuan. This is why it is called the garden of ten thousand gardens.
