Summer Palace Introduction:
The Summer Palace has a history of over 800 years. The 1911 Revolution overthrew the Qing Dynasty, the last Dynasty in Chinese history. Since then, the Summer Palace became the private property of the dethroned Emperor Puyi. In 1914 he opened the garden to the general public. But the entrance fee was so high that the palace had very few visitors. In 1924, the Emperor Puyi was forced to leave the Forbidden City, and the Summer Palace was taken over by Beijing government. Then, the Summer Palace was turned into a public park with the exorbitant entrance fee of one silver dollar.
There are few people know that the Summer Palace has one of the richest collections of cultural relics in China, probably in the world as well. There are 40,000 relics in collection, including many that are extremely rare. In both historical and artistic value, the collection in the Summer Palace matches the collections of the Forbidden City. The collection includes more than 20,000 relics that are under special protection as national treasures. As a part of the cultural treasures, the 4000,000 trees that also crystallize the essence of Chinese culture have been well looked after. Amongst the trees, 1,600 are more than 200 years old. Every tree has a file and is kept in the Garden's database for protection.
