"When it comes to the history of 'Diaoyutai', it is a long time, it is a famous garden in the western suburbs of the capital in the past dynasties, and it was first named after Emperor Zhangzong of the Jin Dynasty who built a platform here for fishing. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, 'Diaoyutai' became a holy place for the emperor's relatives to play, and many buildings were added to build the prototype of the garden. During the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong built a large number of buildings in Diaoyutai and turned Diaoyutai into a royal garden. The west gate we just came in was inlaid with the handwriting of Emperor Qianlong! ”

"Compared with the Forbidden City, 'Diaoyutai' is like a paradise, and every time the emperor of Qianlong worships in the suburbs, he will stay here and become a palace. Until the last emperor Puyi, he gave this garden as a gift to his teacher Chen Baochen. This is the history of 'Diaoyutai', which can be said to have witnessed the rise and fall of several dynasties! ”

Manager Wu told the history of Diaoyutai, which made everyone fascinated.

"In 1958, in order to receive the dignitaries who were invited to China to participate in the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, our beloved Premier Zhou instructed to 'build a distinctive high-end hotel', so it was decided to build a guest house here, which was later renamed Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. When it was completed in September 1959, the hotel park covered an area of 420,000 square meters, the lake area was 50,000 square meters, and the total construction area was 60,000 square meters. After these years of unremitting construction, the State Guest House now has 16 luxurious and exquisite reception buildings, two ancient buildings and a large hotel open to the public, with a total construction area of 170,000 square meters, with a very professional and strong comprehensive reception capacity, and has also become the benchmark and ceiling of the hotel industry in Beijing. It is worth mentioning that the buildings here are ordered from Building 1 to Building 18, but there is no Building 13, do the leaders know what the reason is? Manager Wu smiled and sold a pass.

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Manager Wu said:

"Because we are a foreign-related hotel, and Westerners taboo 13, so there is no thirteen-storey building, this is a special cultural tradition, many of our buildings in China do not have 4 floors, 18 floors, is a meaning, maybe this situation is more common in the south.

Everyone was stunned.

"Among them, Building 1 is called Fangfei Garden, and Building 4 is called Bafangyuan."

"'Diaoyutai' not only witnesses the history of China, but also witnesses the development and changes of New China! In 58 years, the central government ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be responsible for specific planning and organization, and at that time invested a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and even mobilized all the high-level skilled workers from all over the world to the capital, almost exhausting the construction power of the entire country, and in just one year, the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse was built from scratch and rose from the ground, which can be called a miracle! ”

"We can see that the interior environment of the State Guesthouse is quiet, with all kinds of vegetation, a hundred flowers blooming in spring, and evergreen pine branches in winter, which is bright and moving all year round. Cherry, magnolia, peony...... It's a garden-style building! There is also an artificial lake inside, creating a small ecosystem! ”

"Before it was officially put into use, Premier Zhou inspected and said, 'People are engaged in big buildings, and you are engaged in a beautiful and quiet environment, which is carefully carved inside and out, and it is a big forest park as a whole!'" It's not easy in such a short time! Mr. Chen, who was accompanying and casual, also joked, "This is the 11th largest building in New China!" ’”

Since then, Diaoyutai has played an important role in China's diplomatic occasions and is also an important means to show the demeanor of a great power. The founding leaders also moved in one after another, and each had a building he liked to live in. Generally speaking, Chairman Mao lives in Building 12, Premier Zhou lives in Building 5, Building 11 is where Comrade Liu Shaoqi stays most often, and Comrade Peng Zhen often goes to Building 14. Of course, the leaders' rooms are not luxurious, a small living room, a bathroom, and a bedroom......"

Manager Wu introduced the history of the State Guesthouse and the interesting facts of the founding fathers.

"The Diaoyutai State Guesthouse is both elegant and luxurious, a combination of history and reality, East and West! It not only retains the majestic and luxurious atmosphere of the once royal garden, but also has the tranquility and antiquity of the Jiangnan garden, and many villas have a strong Western style, so that the Chinese and Western, ancient and modern complement each other, and become an immortal monument in the history of Huaxia Hotel. ”

Everyone is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and they don't know what to say at all.

There are so many beautiful scenery and curiosities that I feel like my brain is about to short-circuit......

Coaster stopped at Building 18.

Building 18 is located in the center of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, on the north side of the central lake.

"Come in, this is where we're staying!" Manager Wu said.

Everyone followed in.

There were guards in civilian clothes outside, and I don't know what their numbers were.

As soon as everyone entered the hall, they were once again shocked by luxury.

I saw that the marble floor was shining, and there were many precious items at first sight, but with their eyes, they didn't know what they were.

"Our fishing set is not only a hotel, but also a platform to show the excellent traditional culture of China, there are many splendid cultural treasures, there are many cultural relics and antiques are Premier Zhou personally coordinated with the Palace Museum to transfer to the hotel, scattered in various reception buildings, Building 18 is particularly precious! There are cloisonné round tables made by Qianlong, jars fired for Guangxu's wedding, and fragrant jade Buddha heads from the Tang Dynasty........," Manager Wu continued.

Everyone gasped.

If any one of them is accidentally broken, you can't afford to pay for it for the rest of your life.......

"We can also appreciate the specialties of different places, for example, these carpets are from Tianjin, the silk is from Suzhou, and the tableware for our evening meal is Jingdezhen craft ceramics........"

"And our dishes, which can be called state banquet level! With the pursuit of the ultimate craftsman spirit, we have polished the banquet dishes that are 'fresh and elegant, mellow and timely'! ”

"According to the instructions of the leaders, it is necessary to make Diaoyutai reach the highest reception level in China, a world-class guest house, and the world's top food culture. We should make our state guesthouse a platform for promoting Chinese civilization, a platform for strengthening Sino-foreign friendship, and a platform for serving the diplomacy of major countries! Become a diplomatic place, the image of the country, and the pride of the nation! ”

Manager Wu said, with a proud look on his face.

Everyone took out their ID cards to check in.

Looking at the bills, the cost of housing here is expensive, measured in dollars, with standard rooms costing $298, regular suites $598, deluxe suites $1,998, and presidential suites $3,998......

298 US dollars, more than 2,000 yuan, more than their monthly salary.......
