Chapter 380 Quite Versailles·When Can I Live!

Diaoyutai State Guesthouse is located in the ancient Diaoyutai Scenic Area in the western suburbs of Yanjing.

The ancient Diaoyutai used to be the resting palace of the emperor and one of the famous gardens in Yanjing, with a history of more than 800 years.

Emperor Jin Zhangzong once built a fishing platform here, so it was known as the "Emperor's Diaoyutai" in later generations.In the Yuan Dynasty, Prime Minister Lian Xixian built the villa "Wanliu Hall" here, which became a popular tourist attraction for a while.

After Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, this was the villa of dignitaries and relatives, and many literati and scholars had feasts and poems here.

Emperor Qianlong loved its beautiful scenery and designated it as a temporary palace. He built Yangyuanzhai, Qinglu Hall, Xiaobixuan, Chengyi Pavilion, and Wanghai Tower, and wrote poems and erected plaques himself.

Li Mobai feels that coming here is more complicated and exciting than going to the Forbidden City.

After all, the Forbidden City is now open to the public.You only need to buy tickets to go in and visit.

But here, even if you have money, you can’t do it.

The entire Diaoyutai State Guesthouse has built 13 reception buildings. In order to reflect the equal treatment of big and small countries and cater to the foreign policy of the Ming Dynasty, there is no "Building No. 17", and there is no "Building No. [-]" to respect the habits of European countries.In order to respect the traditions of the Ming Dynasty, the title of "No.[-] Building" is replaced by "Fangfei Garden", and the name of "No. [-] Building" is replaced by "Bafang Garden".

The total area of ​​the garden is 42 square meters, and the total construction area of ​​the museum is 16 square meters, of which the lake area is [-] square meters.

On Li Mobai's side, there are professional etiquette staff to guide him over.

Although they are just ordinary service staff, to be honest, they are as good as flight attendants.Even slightly better.

Perhaps, the selection criteria for service personnel here are stricter than those for flight attendants.

This Diaoyutai was originally surrounded by a fence made of green-painted bamboo poles, and you can roughly see the houses and trees inside!
Later, the fence was rebuilt and an electric grid was installed on the fence.There is a gate on the east and north sides of the wall.There is a rockery in the east gate; a large screen wall is built in the north gate to block the sight of passers-by.

The screen wall is painted with red paint, and there are gold characters in flying gestures: "serve the people".

There are more than a dozen buildings in the State Guesthouse, which are numbered counterclockwise from the north of the east gate of Diaoyutai. .

The small buildings here, without exception, maintain the original style on the outside and modernize the inside.

No.18 Presidential Suite is the most important and luxurious building in the building group. Its appearance is the structure of the palace of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, with yellow glazed tiles on the roof, surrounded by green painted pillars and carved beams. Jin Yujiaohui.

The presidential bedroom in the building is even more magnificent. The big bed and wardrobe used are all carved out of rosewood, and the floor-to-ceiling palace lamps are arranged around, which is graceful and magnificent.

The large floor-to-ceiling screen in front of the bedroom is carefully carved with mahogany and accompanied by more than ten paintings of landscapes, flowers and birds, creating a strong atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty.

Except for the Presidential Building, the other [-] buildings are in western villa style, some are in Japanese style, and some are in oriental national style, but they are all modern buildings!
Downstairs is usually a reception room with a restaurant or conference and negotiation room.

The original Diaoyutai Palace and the eighteen modern buildings are connected together, and the ancient and modern complement each other perfectly.The entire State Guest House is full of dense ancient trees, gurgling clear water, green grass, winding willow dikes, and secluded stone bridges and paths, just like a fairyland on earth.

Li Mobai is like a mountain cannon entering the city, looking left and right.Not to mention how experienced he is.

In order to better display the culture of the Ming Dynasty, the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse has been proposed by relevant departments from the beginning of its establishment as an important place to display the culture of the Ming Dynasty!

The State Guest House has done its best to collect valuable cultural relics from past dynasties, including calligraphy and painting, cultural relics, and traditional ancient furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties and earlier, and has continuously received donations from collectors, contemporary calligraphy and painting masters, and overseas Chinese!
Up to now, thousands of cultural relics, calligraphy, painting and antique treasures have been displayed in various buildings.

The cuisine of Diaoyutai State Guesthouse draws on the strengths of the eight major cuisines in China, as well as the essence of cuisines from all over the world.

From the royal court delicacies to the folk snacks and the tastes and customs of heads of state from various countries, they form the characteristic flavor of Diaoyutai State Guesthouse dishes: "Fresh and elegant, pure and timeless".

Thousands of foreign heads of state and government who have visited Diaoyutai dishes have all expressed their satisfaction in praise.

Not long ago, the senior chef of the State Guest House developed a unique "palace banquet", which was amazed by all the guests at home and abroad who tasted it.

Among the many hotel buildings, the No.12 and No.18 buildings are the most prominent, because they are specially used to receive foreign heads of state and government leaders.

When the president of the United States visits, he lives on the NO.18th floor!
Therefore, this building is jokingly called "The Head of State Building".

Of course Li Guokai can't live on the No.18 floor.He lives in building six!

However, this is also very cowhide.

Li Mobai thought of a joke, born into Zhong··South·China Sea, died into Babaoshan.This is the highest pursuit of a person's life.

He doesn't think it's accurate!
Being invited to stay at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse is a real boss.

I don't know if I will be lucky in my life to come here for one night.

such a pity.It’s such a shame that there are no smartphones now.

If so, I'll take a few photos here and post them.

Accompanying text: "Invited to come here for a simple dinner...!"

Boy, how many Versailles, how many Versailles.

Arriving at Building [-], the etiquette lady handed over and Li Mobai was welcomed in.

A couple who were over sixty years old but still in good spirits came over.

"Grandpa Li, hello grandma!" Li Mobai didn't dare to neglect, he stepped forward and called out affectionately.

The husband and wife looked at Li Mobai, they were low-key and introverted, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and they were quite calm.To that stop, like a straight javelin.

very nice.The first reaction was very good.

"Xiaobai, come on, sit down!" Li Guokai signaled Li Mobai to come closer.

Li Mobai stepped forward, Li Guokai patted him on the shoulder, and then said with great satisfaction: "This kid has grown really tall!"

From rebirth to now, Li Mobai has really grown a lot in size.

Now the naked height is already [-], and when I put on shoes and socks, it will naturally be higher.

"He's much taller than your father and grandpa!" Li Guokai pulled Li Mobai towards the restaurant.

Li Mobai giggled.

A sumptuous meal is ready!
In the Ming Dynasty, there were four major cuisines: Shandong, Guangdong, Sichuan and Huaiyang. Anyone who has eaten Diaoyutai cuisine will tell you that there are five major cuisines in the country.

Diaoyutai cuisine has the characteristics of three lows and one high, that is, low fat, low cholesterol, low calories and high protein. It is very light and healthy, which is different from the greasy traditional Ming food.
