It was built in 1703 and took 89 years to complete during the reigns of Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong. It covers an area of 5.64 million square meters and has a circumference of 20 li, which is twice the size of the Summer Palace and eight times the size of Beihai Park. It is one of the four famous gardens in China, along with the Summer Palace, Humble Administrator's Garden, and Lingering Garden.

Historically, it witnessed the glory and decline of the last dynasty in China, leaving many important relics and cultural artifacts. The beauty of the Mountain Resort lies in its integration, incorporating classic gardens from all over the country into the Mountain Resort, which can be called a classic garden expo!
