## About New Yuanmingyuan Park

Many people have sighed over the story of the burning of the Old Summer Palace, but Hengdian’s New Yuanmingyuan Park recreates to some degree the “Garden of Gardens” of history. The Spring Garden is based on the *Forty Scenes of Yuanmingyuan* and centres on spring, recreating an imperial garden that is by turns solemn and sacred, and poetically picturesque. The Summer Garden is modelled on the Changchun Garden, and its most astonishing feature is the famous Twelve Zodiac Fountains.
