Western Qing Tombs
The Western Qing Tombs are located in Yi County, Hebei Province, in the Beijing-Tianjin-Baoding triangle, with a total area of 237 square kilometers. It is a typical ancient building complex of the Qing Dynasty. It was listed as a World Cultural Heritage in November 2000 and is a national 5A-level scenic spot. The Western Qing Tombs were built in 1730 and are the burial place of four emperors, Yongzheng, Jiaqing, Daoguang, and Guangxu, and more than 80 concubines. It is the largest, most complete, and most complete ancient royal mausoleum complex in my country. The Western Qing Tombs scenic area has a beautiful ecological environment, with Yunmeng Mountain in the west, Yongning Mountain in the north, Jinlongyu in the east, and East and West Huagai Mountain in the south. It is surrounded by the Yishui River and four artificial lakes such as Longhu Lake are scattered in between. The largest ancient pine forest in North China is scattered throughout the scenic area, with a forest coverage rate of 68%. The air quality here meets the national first-level standard, and the negative ion content is as high as 10,000 per cubic centimeter. It is praised as "a natural oxygen bar where you can breathe deeply."
Zhili Governor's Office
The Zhili Governor's Office is located at No. 301, Yuhua West Road, Baoding City, Hebei Province. It is the best-preserved provincial government office of the Qing Dynasty in my country. It is now a national key cultural relic protection unit, a national AAAA-level tourist attraction, a patriotic education base in Hebei Province, and a demonstration base for clean government culture education in Baoding City. "Where there are officials, there are government offices." The Zhili Governor's Office was built in accordance with the custom of the Zhili Governor. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it inherited the Ming system and actively promoted the provincial system throughout the country, and listed the governor and governor as the head of the officials of one or several provinces. The Ming Dynasty Northern Zhili, located in the capital, was subsequently changed to Zhili Province. The Zhili Governor was established in the second year of Yongzheng (1724), and the Zhili Governor's Office was built in the seventh year of Yongzheng (1729). In the second year of Yongzheng's reign (1724), Li Weijun, the Zhili governor stationed in Baoding, was promoted to the position of Zhili Governor-General due to his outstanding political achievements. He was in charge of all officials below the rank of Zhili governor-general. The Zhili Governor-General's Office located in the northwest corner of Baoding was therefore upgraded to the Zhili Governor-General's Office. As the post of Zhili Governor-General gradually became a custom, the Governor-General's Office, which was "cramped and shabby, with an undignified appearance", seemed increasingly incompatible with the identity of the Zhili Governor-General, a first-rank official. In the seventh year of Yongzheng's reign (1729), Emperor Yongzheng specially ordered the Imperial Observatory (an institution in the Qing court in charge of observing astronomy and meteorology and compiling calendars) Jian Zheng Mingtu and the head of the Ministry of Revenue Guan Zhining, who were on a business trip to Yizhou, to pass through Baoding to select a new site for the Governor-General's Office. After careful investigation, the General's Office in the city was finally selected. After the approval of Emperor Yongzheng, Yang Kun, the Governor-General of Zhili, recruited workers and selected materials, and built it with public funds. The construction officially started on the fourth day of March of that year, and it took 8 months to complete on the 23rd day of November (January 11, 1730). In the same year, Tang Zhiyu, the Acting Governor-General of Zhili who succeeded Yang Kun, officially started working in the newly built Governor-General's Office. From then until the third year of Xuantong (1911), this place had been the Governor-General's Office of Zhili for 182 years through 8 emperors. Successive governors sat here and issued orders from here, interpreting the history of Zhili for nearly two centuries.
