旅游英語景點介紹—避暑山莊 the mountain summer resort

　　【簡介】避暑山莊又稱“熱河行宮”，當(dāng)?shù)厝朔Q“離宮”，是清代前、中期皇帝夏季避暑和處理政務(wù)的場所。位于中國河北省承德市中心北部，武烈河西岸一帶狹長的谷地上，總面積564萬平方米，由眾多的宮殿、樓閣、亭榭以及其它處理政務(wù)、舉行儀式的建筑構(gòu)成的一個龐大的建筑群，總建筑面積10萬多平方米，共有建筑120余組，山莊周邊宮墻高3米，長10公里，形似長城故人稱“小長城”。避暑山莊主要分宮殿區(qū)和苑景區(qū)兩部分，苑景又分為湖泊區(qū)、平原區(qū)和山巒區(qū)，利用了原有的自然山水，吸收江南、塞北之風(fēng)光，不以皇家建筑輝煌取勝，而是以表現(xiàn)天然山水見勝的宮苑。是中國現(xiàn)存面積最大的皇家園林。避暑山莊東南多水，西北多山，有草原風(fēng)光，也有森林景象，所以亦有人認為是取清朝疆域自然地貌的縮影。避暑山莊不僅具有比較高的美學(xué)研究價值，同時還保留著中國君主專制社會發(fā)展末期的罕見的歷史遺跡。
