Yuyuantan's classic tour guide words
Outside Fuchengmen, it faces Diaoyutai in the east and the Third Ring Road in the west. The east-west length is about 1.7 km, with an area of 1.37 hectares, half of which is water, and the lake is rippling. Trees give shade. This is one of the larger parks in the suburbs of Beijing. "Tong Mingzhi" contains: Yuyuantan is located in the west of the mansion, surrounded by Dingjia Laochi and Liudi in Yuan Dynasty. It is a bustling and bleak place with sand birds and water birds. It is a place to enjoy beautiful women. ? Because of the low terrain here, the mountains and rivers in Xishan area gather here. In the thirty-eighth year of Qingganlong (1773), it was dredged into the lake, so that it was introduced into the water by the newly opened Xiangshan River. In addition, a sluice was built at the lower mouth to store and drain the lake water and lead the river water from Sanli River to Fuchengmen moat. There is a palace in the east. The back lake is silted up and overgrown with weeds. After liberation, a gourd-shaped new lake of about 10 hectare was excavated in Yongding River diversion project. There is an experimental hydropower station downstream. The east and west ends of the new and old lakes are connected, which can not only divert water but also store water. After Miyun Reservoir 1960 is built, the diversion canal from Kunming Lake to Yuyuantan at the southern end of the diversion project joins the Yongding River diversion canal at Luodaozhuang and flows into the moat through Yuyuantan. In recent years, the park has been vigorously built, the roads around the lake have been repaired, and corridors and landscape buildings have been built in the park, gradually enriching the park. Yuyuantan is not only a place with pleasant scenery, quiet environment and dense trees, but also a place for swimming and boating in the western suburbs. But also plays a role in water diversion and flood regulation in Beijing water conservancy project.
