(1):

On the first day, the East Gate entered.

The parking lot is not small. Climb up a few steps and you will reach the east gate in two minutes. The east gate is the main entrance of the original Jingyi Garden, facing west and east. There are two bronze lions in front of the door. The four words "Xiangshan Park" are inscribed by Guo Moruo.

A pair of bronze lions are powerful and have drooping ears, making them look cute and cute.

These pair of bronze lions, forged during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, were called "hanging palms lions" for a long time because each lion has a claw raised and suspended in the air. In fact, the "hanging palm lion", like most lions, is a male and a female. The male lion has a hydrangea under his paws, and the female lion has a cub under his paws. Because the hydrangea and the cub were originally bronze, they were stolen and sold as scrap copper. Later, it was repaired and repaired, and it was stolen again, so for a long time, all people saw were lions with hanging claws. In 2008, when welcoming the Olympics, professionals restored the "hanging lion" intact, and the hydrangea and lion cubs were also restored to their original state. This is what we see today. It is estimated that with the current level of security precautions, no one will dare to steal it again.

Entering the door is a wooden archway, with the front face "Zhong Ling Yuxiu" and the back face "Fragrance is far and clear".

The archway dougong is exquisite and beautiful, the colorful paintings are exquisite and gorgeous, and the atmosphere of the royal family is strong.

The sign "Jingyi Garden (Xiangshan)", a cultural relic protection unit in Beijing City, is hung on the shadow wall on the north side of the archway.

The brick carvings on the shadow walls on both sides of the archway are exquisite in techniques and vivid in shape.

Behind the archway is the Yueya River and the stone arch bridge. After crossing the bridge is the Qinzheng Hall.

Qinzheng Hall was the place where Emperor Qianlong came to the garden to temporarily handle government affairs and receive princes and ministers. It was built in the tenth year of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty and burned down by the Anglo-French coalition forces in 1860. It was rebuilt on the original site in 2002. The front of the hall hangs a plaque titled "Qinzheng Hall" with gold characters written by Qianlong's imperial pen. In the hall, there are a horizontal plaque titled "Traveling with Harmony" written by Qianlong's imperial pen, the emperor's golden throne, and a carved dragon and a gold screen.

Qinzheng Hall has north and south auxiliary halls, which used to be a resting place for princes and ministers. The current South Side Hall serves as the exhibition hall and commodity department, and the North Side Hall serves as the park visitor center.

You can go up the mountain on both north and south sides of Qinzheng Hall. The south side leads to Xiangshan Temple and Laiqingxuan, and the north side leads to cableway, North Gate, and Biyun Temple. There are also many small roads on the mountain that connect each other, so no matter how you go, you can reach the top of Xianglu Peak.

Xiaobailou was originally one of the twenty-eight scenic spots in Jingyi Garden in the Qing Dynasty-Lvyun Fang. It was burned down by the British and French allied forces in 1860. Later, Xiangshan Ciyou Home built a library on the former site, commonly known as "Xiaobailou". After the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China stationed in Xiangshan, this was the Central Library of the Communist Party of China.

Xiangshan Hotel is located in Xiangshan Park. It was formerly the largest palace in the original Jingyi Garden-Xulangzhai. It was designed by Mr. I.M. Pei, an internationally renowned Chinese-American architectural designer. It integrates Chinese classical architectural art, garden art, and environmental art. Relying on the mountain scenery, the hotel is dotted with high and low, winding and winding, alternating courtyards, rocks, lake water, flowers, trees, and the main building with white walls and gray tiles.

If the parking lot outside is full, parking your car in the parking lot of Xiangshan Hotel is a good choice. You can also have lunch or dinner here after shopping. The first floor is relatively popular, while the second floor is relatively high-end, the environment is elegant, and the food is very good. Except for the price being a little expensive, there is nothing wrong with it.

Jingcui Lake was formerly known as the "Dabishiping Mountain" in Jingyi Garden. After its renovation, it was named Jingcui Lake. The lake water is clear and blue, the trees are green and straight, and the shape is beautiful.

The winding path leads to the secluded place, and the meditation room is deep with flowers and trees.

Cuiwei Pavilion was built during the Qianlong period and is one of the 28 scenic spots in Jingyi Garden.

Flowers and plants spread all over the mountains.

The trees are lush and soaring.

Yingluo Rock, built in the Ming Dynasty, is a man-made stone mountain with spring water flowing down and gurgling water, which is pleasant to the ears.

There is a small pavilion built next to it, with a plaque written "Qing Yin".

There is also an open pavilion on top, with a plaque titled Kangxi titled "Deep in the Green Cloud."

Deep beyond the green cloud, there is a wooden archway facing north to south. It has four pillars, three rooms, and seven floors with a bucket arch. It has the "First Tour of the West Mountain" in the north and the "Crown of the Capital" in the south.

After passing the crown archway of the capital, you will reach the foot of Xiangshan Temple. There is a pool with white marble railings called Zhilehao. Through the gradually blurred carvings on the stone railing, you can feel the traces of time. It turns out that this is Xiangshan Temple's release fish pond.

About Xiangshan Temple: According to records, there were two temples in Ji 'an and Xiangshan in the Tang Dynasty. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the two temples were integrated into one, and Emperor Zhang of the Jin Dynasty gave it the name "Da Yong 'an Temple". It was rebuilt in the Yuan Dynasty and renamed "Ganlu Temple". It was rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty and called the "Yong 'an Temple". During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the original site was expanded and the "Dayan Zen Temple" was awarded, one of the 28 scenic spots in Jingyi Garden. Xiangshan Temple is built against the mountain. It is well-organized, neat and spectacular. It was once the crown of all temples in the West Mountain.
In 1860 and 1900, Xiangshan Temple was burned by the Anglo-French Allied Forces and the Eight-Power Allied Forces respectively. Only relics such as Zhilehao, Tingfasong, Sahalashu Imperial Monument, and Shiping are left. On November 28, 2017, after five years of renovation, Xiangshan Temple was reopened with a new look.

Xiangshan Temple faces east and rises step by step from east to west with the mountain. Xiangyun Archway can be regarded as the eastern starting point of Xiangshan Temple.

On the steps, ancient trees reach into the sky, leading to the Buddha Hall and sitting in the middle. The Jieyin Buddha Hall is the Shanmen Hall. The plaque of "Xiangshan Dayan Zen Temple" hangs outside the store, and the Jieyin Buddha is enshrined in the hall.

The eight-character shadow walls on both sides of the hall are exquisite brick carvings.

Above the Buddhist Hall, on both north and south sides, there are two ancient pine trees, high into the clouds, luxuriant branches, and strong trees. The large branches growing facing each other on the crown stretch long and long, much like two believers listening to the lecture. The tree on the south side slopes towards the temple, and the words "Listening Fa Song" are engraved on the big stone next to it.

Above the Tingfa Pine is the Tianwang Hall. There is a climbing ramp between Tingfa Pine and Tianwang Hall. A little down the ramp there is a famous courtyard-Shuangqing Villa. Let's go and have a look first before continuing on to Xiangshan Temple.

Shuangqing Villa was originally the former site of the "Songwu Villa" in Jingyi Garden in Xiangshan Mountain. It was one of the twenty-eight scenic views of Xiangshan titled by Qianlong. In 1860 and 1900, Songwu Villa was looted and burned by the Anglo-French Allied Forces and the Eight-Power Allied Forces.
In 1917, Mr. Xiong Xiling, the fourth Prime Minister of the Republic of China, founded the famous Xiangshan Charity Home and built a villa here to cultivate talents. It was called the "Shuangqing Villa".

On March 25, 1949, after the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Central Military Commission stationed in Peiping, they lived and worked in Shuangqing Villa. Shuangqing Villa was once the command center of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. It witnessed the victory of the Chinese revolution. It has extraordinary historical significance and is now a patriotic education base. Visits require advance reservations.

After visiting Shuangqing Villa, continue on to Xiangshan Temple.

The Hall of Heavenly Kings is dedicated to Maitreya Buddha in the center, to Weituo on the back, and to the four great heavenly kings on both sides.

Behind the Hall of Tianwang, a stone tablet is covered by a glass cover, leaving only the top exposed. This is the "Saha Tree Song" stele. The stone tablet is of a square shape. It was made by the imperial government in the 38th year of Qianlong. The head of the stone tablet is a four-dragon ridge. The body of the stone tablet is engraved with the "Song of the Saha Tree" in four languages: Manchu, Han, Mongolian and Tibetan. The four corners of the Sumi seat are carved into a kneeling posture and support the stele shape.

At the head of the monument, there is a poem "Saha Tree" written in the southwest: "I don't know when the Saha Tree was planted in Xiangshan Temple. The emerald leaves stand out in the sky, just like when the seven Buddha verses are completed."

On the south side there is a monument to "pardon Xiangshan Yong 'an Zen Temple in gratitude".

Bell and drum towers on both sides.

There is a hexagonal mandal city on the north and south sides in the middle. There are original Tibetan statues in the city. After the restoration, Thangka was placed in the city, replacing the original statue of gods with Thangka.

Above the mandala is a wooden archway with the east denomination of "Yong 'an" and the west denomination of "Ganlu". The names of the two previous temples are written on it.

Yuanlingying Hall is the main hall of Xiangshan Temple, equivalent to the Daxiong Hall. The entrance is blocked and entry is prohibited.

In front of the Yuanlingying Hall, there is a stone screen built during the Qianlong period and made of white marble as a whole. On the east side of the stone screen, the "Prajna Paramita Duo Heart Sutra","Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra", and "Eight Great Human Awakening Sutra" are engraved with Emperor Qianlong's homage. On the west side, from left to right, the Manjusri Bodhisattva painted in the 14th year of Qianlong are engraved with statues of the ancient Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The Yuanlingying Hall is beautifully built and has a high standard. The roof is made of yellow glazed tiles and green trimmed edges. The ridge is lined with a large kiss. The glazed dragon decoration on the ridge runs through the entire ridge.

The spine brake is dazzling. The brake seat is a blue glaze vase with a lotus seat on it. On the lotus seat is a five-layer phase wheel, and above it is a canopy. The top of the brake seat is the moon and pearl.

There are seven beasts hanging on the ridge. The immortal rides a chicken and follows a dragon, a phoenix, a lion, a horse, a seahorse, a suanni and a fish. The high specifications can be seen.

After the Yuanling Yingxian Hall is the last group of buildings in Xiangshan Temple. Above the steps is a hall through the hall, called "Broad Vision". According to the usual temple layout, this should be the location of the Buddhist Sutra Tower and the back garden.

In the middle of the rockery, there is a three-story octagonal gray tile, single eaves and spires pavilion called the Pupu Xianglin Pavilion, which is a bit like the Buddha Fragrance Pavilion in the Summer Palace.

There is a corridor on each floor and a plaque on the front.

The stone ramps on both sides of Xianglin Pavilion in Pupu can lead to a mountain hall on the middle of the mountain, and the climbing corridors along the walls on both sides can lead to the Qingxia Jiyi Building on the top.

After leaving Xiangshan Temple, he did not continue to move upwards and came to the door of Laiqingxuan. In 1949, after the central government stationed in Xiangshan, Communist Party leaders such as Zhu De, Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai, and Ren Bishi lived and worked here.

Coming to the east of Qingxuan, there is a simple mountain gate with the inscription "Lenga Miaojue".

Go down the mountain through the "Shanga Miaojue" gate.

Xiabiaodeng, located at the foot of Shibaipan, was built in Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty and is one of the 28 scenic spots in Jingyi Garden. It was originally the three open pavilions between the "Nine Songs and Shibapan" kicking paths, where you can see the sunset rising. Emperor Qianlong wrote the poem "Step on and watch the sunset rising", hence the name Xiabiaodeng.

Zhishi Pavilion was originally built in the Qing Dynasty and is a three-story hexagonal pavilion. It was built by Emperor Qianlong to express his filial piety to the Empress Dowager. Its name contains the meaning of "knowing the times according to the times, acting at the right time, responding to the times, and cherishing time." The pavilion originally contained tribute clocks from Western countries. The restored time-telling pavilion is equipped with clocks as it is, allowing people to "know the time" and cherish time.

There is a self-ringing bell on the top floor of the pavilion, and one side of the bronze gilded phoenix flag is placed on the top of the treasure. The golden phoenix spreads its wings in the wind, making it look majestic.

Come to Autumn Pavilion, wander among the forest of pines and cypresses, and head towards Zhaomiao.

A green and middle red leaves are dotted, like telling people that autumn has arrived.

Amidst the green forest on the mountain, a glazed pagoda stands tall.

Continue moving forward and come to Zhao Temple. The full name of Zhao Temple-Zongjing Dazhao Temple, is a Tibetan Buddhism Gelug Sect temple.

Zongjing Dazhao Temple was built by the Qing court to receive the Sixth Panchen Lama in Beijing. It includes the Temple of Meru Fushou in Rehe, and the Xihuang Temple in Beijing, which was the site where the Panchen Lama was received in different seasons during the Qianlong period.

The glazed archway in front of Zhao Temple is one of the ten existing glazed archway in Beijing. As the highest level among the archway, it is exquisite and elegant, and it is also a business card of Xiangshan Mountain.

The plaques on both sides of the archway are written in Manchu, Han, Mongolian and Tibetan, which is unique among the plaques. The east side plaque: Fayuan Yanqing, and the west side plaque: Huizhao Tenghui.

The heart of the square is decorated with six dragons.

Above the arches on both sides are also the most gorgeous "two dragons playing with beads" decorated with glass.

The stone carvings on the arch gate and base are all exquisite.

In addition to exquisite workmanship, the entire building of Zhao Temple also shows a full Tibetan style everywhere.

Go north from Zhaomiao and cross the stone bridge to Jianxinzhai. Jianxinzhai is one of the few buildings in Xiangshan that survived the destruction of the Eight-Power Allied Forces.

Jianxinzhai was built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty and was renovated by Qianlong and Jiaqing. It is said that it was once a place where emperors admonished their subordinates. It does not belong to the 28th Scenery of Jingyi Garden, but is one of the two Scenery Scenery of Jingyi Garden, which are Jianxinzhai and Zhaomiao.

Jianxinzhai is a garden in the garden with a Jiangnan flavor.

In the park, there are jagged rocks, green pines and cypresses, pavilions, and water surrounds the mountains. It is a quiet place.

Follow the walls of Jianxinzhai, climb the rugged mountain road paved with dozens of stones, and reach the front of the Zhaomiao Glazed Pagoda.

The full name of the Glazed Pagoda is the Glazed Wanshou Pagoda. It was built in the 45th year of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. It is the last group of buildings in Zhao Temple. It is a seven-story solid tower with dense eaves. The base of the tower has an octagonal shape in the Sumi seat. There are eighty glazed Buddhist niches on the surface of the tower body, and copper bells are decorated at the eaves.

The glazed tower was once burned by the British and French coalition forces, and the wooden buildings and stone Buddha statues were damaged. Renovated in 1965, it is now a landmark building in Xiangshan Park
。I learned that there are only three existing glazed towers in Beijing, one in the Summer Palace and one in Yuquan Mountain. This glazed Wanshou Tower in Xiangshan is the largest one.

After seeing the Liuli Tower, cross the Glasses Lake, go to Xiangshan Cableway Station, and have a panoramic view of the beauty of Xiangshan and Beijing City from the sky.

Xiangshan Mountain is densely wooded and has a quiet environment. It is not only a favorite for people, but also a paradise for birds. As people's awareness of animal protection increases, birds are no longer afraid of people, so various birds can often be seen playing or foraging, which adds to the fun of playing.

Xiangshan Cableway Station is close to the north gate of the park. I haven't taken the Xiangshan Cableway for many years. Such equipment is difficult to see now, but it looks very friendly, as if I have returned to childhood. The biggest advantage of this kind of equipment is that it is unobstructed, has a wide field of view, and is convenient to take photos.

The first tourist cableway in Beijing City was the Xiangshan Cableway. It was officially put into operation as early as 1982 and takes about 18 minutes one way. Sitting on the cable car, you can have a panoramic view of Xiangshan Mountain and the scenery of the capital.

Zhao Temple.

International Trade, China Respect.

Summer Palace.

The Five Color Mountain first appeared.

The cableway ends at Chongyang Pavilion, which is also the highest point of Xiangshan-Xianglu Peak.

Xianglu Peak is the best place to overlook the capital. The weather is beautiful, the atmosphere is bright and the sky is clear, and the view is best in the afternoon.

The Chongyang Pavilion looks at the capital, with neat streets, east, west, north and south. There are several landmark buildings with obvious characteristics. There are not many ultra-high buildings. The overall stability and atmosphere are very consistent with the style of the ancient capital.

The Summer Palace and Jade Spring Twin Towers dot the green waters and green mountains.

The road spirals gently like a ribbon.

When the sun sets in the west, the afterglow of the sunset fills the capital. The entire city is full of clouds, quiet and warm, ancient and young, full of vitality and vitality. Standing on the top of Xiangshan Mountain, I sighed in my heart: I love you-Beijing.

The trees are turning yellow and the leaves are turning red, and the most beautiful autumn in Xiangshan is coming.

Accompanied by the sunset, we walked down the mountain and passed by Xiangwu Cave, which was closed.

Xiangwu Cave was built in the tenth year of Qianlong and is the highest geographically located among the 28 scenic spots in Jingyi Garden in the Qing Dynasty. Because it is located in the middle of the mountain, surrounded by green shades, quiet and elegant, and fragrant vegetation, it is called Xiangwu Cave

There is a small archway in the east, south and north.

There is a large archway to the west. There is the famous "Xishan Qingxue" stele on the north slope.

By the time we passed Xiaoyouting, it was completely dark. Although the road down the mountain is not illuminated, it does not seem dark or lonely. There are people descending the mountain in twos and threes. It feels that climbing Xiangshan has become a habit for many Beijingers.

In the evening, I had dinner at Shanhaijing on the second floor of Xiangshan Hotel. The food is exquisite, the environment is elegant, and the taste is good. Apart from being a little expensive, everything else is impeccable.
