| | Former Residence of Puyi [edit this] | | Jingyuan Garden was the residence for the last emperor Puyi in 1920s and 30s, which is situated in No.70 Anshan Road, Heping District. Because Puyi observed changes of politic affairs calmly and waited for opportunity patiently here, the garden is called “Jingyuan”.
Constructed in 1921, originally named “Qianyuan Garden”, Jingyuan Garden was the residential building of Lu Zongyu, senator in the period of the Republic of China and ambassador to Japan.
Puyi lived here with the empress Wan Rong, concubine Wen Xiu and former officials from the exile in 1925 to November in 1931.
Jingyuan Garden was used as office building and dormitory after being taken over by P.R.C. government. In 2003, Tianjin started to repair and restore its appearance and collected cultural relics, in order to establish exhibition hall of the Last Emperor in China. The restored display will be arranged according to the original. The imitated furniture and decorations, as well as the articles, writings and photos are supposed to present the life and political activity of Puyi during his stay in Tianjin. | Edit by: Dorothy | |
| Eight Immortals' Table Conservation Zone at Jixian County [edit this] | | The Eight Immortals' Table Conservation Zone is located north of Xiaogang Township, Jixian County, 1.2 kilometers northeast of Taipinggou, and 55 kilometers from the county seat.
It includes Mountain Eight Immortals' Table, Heishui River, Limu Platform, Foreign Tower, Taiping Gully, and Changzhou Village, with the broad-leaved forests rarely seen in North China as its main ecological system. The area of forests is 4,161 square kilometers and forest coverage reaches 80%. The name of Eight Immortals' Table derives from a legend. It is said that when eight immortals crossed the sea, they once had a drink and a rest on a large square rock at the mountain ridge, which has remained intact to date. | Edit by: Dorothy | |
