Beijing's Eminent and Entrancing Garden

Beijing is one location that I desire to visit over and over again. It is a location that I appreciate so much even if it is already considered an industrialized city. Despite globalization and increasing numbers of tall buildings and several establishment in this city, it has preserved some of its fascinating spots like the Beijing Grand View Garden.

Beijing Grand View Garden was established based on the eminent classical Chinese literary known as Hongloumeng, which means "A Dream of Red Mansions". The people who established this entrancing garden gave "Garden of a Literary Masterpiece" as its name while scholars from Hongloumeng called it "Another Dream Out of the Dream of Red Mansions".

This eminent garden in Beijing has an estimated land area of about 125,000 square meters with Yihongyuan, Xiaoxiangguan, and Daoxiangcun as the major buildings. Electrifying celebrations ensue here annually during Spring Festival. There is a festivity that is always performed in the magnificent and expansive garden where the participants practice the Lady Jia ceremony.

I have seen this ceremony last year when I visited some buddies there and I was really impressed when I perceived it. I have never perceived a ceremony as magnificent as Lady Jia in my entire life.
