Grand View Garden

People who are interested in Chinese literature must be familiar with the novel Dream of Red Mansions. It is one of the four ancient Chinese classic masterpieces. In this novel, there was a description about the luxurious grandeur of the Grand View Garden (which the main story happened in this garden).

Using the description in the novel as a guide, an imitation landscape garden was built at Xuanwu District, in the southwest Beijing in 1989, using the same name. The Grand View Garden was used as a film location for the TV series Dream of Red Mansion.

This garden covers an area of 110,000 square meters with more than 40 scenic spots in it. It is totally filled with ancient Chinese traditional scenery: pavilions, bridges, corridors, courtyards, rock hills and tunnels. The visitors inside the Grand View Garden will be fascinated by the delicate hills, peculiar stone and fragrant flowers. It is truly a fairyland. If you visit at the right time, you’ll be lucky to see the traditional performance of “The Imperial Concubine Visiting Home”.
