Beijing Red Mansion Cultural and Art Museum( Daguanyuan)

Situated in Xuanwu District southwest of Beijing, the museum( also called Daguanyuan (Grand View Garden) is a replica of the magnificent garden of an imperial family described in the well-known Chinese novel "A Dream of Red Mansions" by Cao Xueqin (17l5-l763).

Beijing Red Mansion Cultural and Art Museum( Daguanyuan)

The project started in June 1984 and is expected to be completed in 1988. The Grand View Garden covers 110,000 square metres and includes more than 40 scenic spots illustrating the main plots in the garden. The stonework covers an area of more than 8,000 square metres and the lakes and canals 24,000 sq.m. The construction work is divided into three stages, of which the first stage in the southern part of the garden cost about 4 million yuan (about l.4 million US dollars) and was opened to the public in early 1985 . It includes a front gate, four courtyards, Qinfang Bridge, Dicui Pavilion, winding paths and other scenic sites. Every effort has been made to be accurate in reproduction of Daguanyuan. Horticulturists, architects, archaeologists and experts on the history of the famous novel were asked to pay much attention to the layout of the whole garden, the location of trees, the arrangement of the rockery, and the decoration of the main characters' homes.
