Diaoyutai State Guesthouse is located in the ancient Diaoyutai scenic spot in the western suburb of Yanjing.

    Ancient Diaoyutai used to be a palace for emperors. It is one of the famous gardens in Yanjing. It has a history of more than 800 years.

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

    After Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, this is the villa of dignitaries and noble relatives, where many scholars of letters visited banquets and wrote poems.

    Emperor Qianlong loved its beautiful scenery and designated it as an imperial palace. He built yangyuanzhai, Qinglu hall, xiaobixuan, Chengyi Pavilion and Wanghai tower, and wrote poems and plaques in person.

    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 outside world. As long as you buy tickets, you can go in and visit.

    But you can''t have money in this place.

    Seventeen reception buildings have been built in the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. In order to reflect the equal treatment of large and small countries, cater to the foreign policy of the Ming Dynasty, there is no "Building 1". In order to respect the habits of European countries, there is no "building 13". In order to respect the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, "Fangfei garden" is used instead of "building 17", and "Bafang garden" is used instead of "building 4".

    The park covers an area of 420000 square meters, with a total construction area of 165000 square meters, including 50000 square meters of lake water.

    Li Mobai was guided by professional etiquette personnel.

    Although it''s just an ordinary service staff, to be honest, it''s hard to compete with some stewardesses. Even a little better.

    Perhaps, the selection criteria of service personnel here are stricter than that of stewardess.

    The fishing platform was originally surrounded by a fence made of green painted bamboo poles. You can see the houses and trees inside!

    Later, a wall was built and a power grid was installed on the wall. A gate is opened in the East and north of the fence. In the east gate is a rockery; A large screen wall was built in the north gate to cover the sight of pedestrians.

    The screen wall was painted with red paint and piled up golden characters with flying strokes: "serve the people".

    There are more than a dozen buildings in the State Guesthouse, numbered counterclockwise from the north of the east gate of Diaoyutai. The environment is elegant and tranquil. There are clear water, red flowers, trees and stone bridges between the pavilions and pavilions, which is the perfect integration of the classical architectural taste and modern architectural style of the Ming Dynasty.

    The small buildings here, without exception, maintain the original style externally and change the interior into modern decoration.

    The presidential suite of building 18 is the most important and luxurious building in the complex. Its shape is the palace structure of the emperor of the pure Ming Dynasty. It is covered with yellow glazed tiles and surrounded by green painted pillars and carved beams. The building is three floors high, magnificent and Golden Jade everywhere.

    The president''s bedroom in the building is even more magnificent. The big bed and wardrobe are carved from red sandalwood. The floor palace lamps are divided around, elegant and magnificent.

    The large landing screen in front of the bedroom is carefully carved with mahogany and equipped with more than ten landscape flowers and birds, creating a strong national flavor of the Ming Dynasty.

    In addition to the Presidential Building, the other 17 buildings have western villa style, Islamic style and Oriental national style, but they are all modern buildings!

    Downstairs is generally a reception room with a restaurant or conference hall.

    The original Diaoyutai palace and the 18 modern buildings are connected into one piece, which is a perfect combination of ancient and modern. With dense ancient trees, murmuring green water, green grass, winding willow embankment and secluded stone bridge paths, the whole state guesthouse is just like a fairyland on earth.

    Li Mobai is just like the cannon entering the city. Look left and right. Don''t mention how long you''ve seen.

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

    The state guesthouse has made every effort to collect valuable cultural relics of all dynasties, including calligraphy and painting, cultural relics and traditional ancient furniture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and earlier, and has been donated by collectors, contemporary calligraphy and painting masters and overseas Chinese!

    Up to now, thousands of cultural relics and calligraphy and painting curios have been displayed in each building museum.

    The cuisine of Diaoyutai State Guesthouse draws on the strengths of the eight major domestic cuisines, and also absorbs the essence of dishes from all over the world.

    From the palace menu to the folk snacks, as well as the tastes and customs of heads of state, constitute the characteristic flavor of the dishes of Diaoyutai State Hotel: "fresh, elegant, honest and meaningful".

    Thousands of visiting foreign heads of state and government and government leaders praised Diaoyutai cuisine with satisfaction.

    Not long ago, the senior chefs of the State Guesthouse developed a unique "court banquet", which surprised all the guests at home and abroad.

    Among the many hotel buildings, buildings 12 and 18 are the most prominent, because they are dedicated to receiving foreign heads of state and government leaders.

    When the president of the United States visits, he lives in building 18!

    Therefore, this building is jokingly called "Fuehrer building".

    Of course, Li Guokai can''t live in building 18. He lives in building six!

    But it''s also very cowhide.

    Li Mobai felt that being invited to stay at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse was the real boss.

    I don''t know if I''m lucky enough to stay here for one night in my life.

    What a pity. It''s a pity that there is no smartphone now.

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

    Caption: "invited here for a simple dinner...!"

    Good guy, how many Versailles there are.

    When she came to building 6, the etiquette lady handed over, and Li Mobai was welcomed in.

    A couple over 60 years old but still in high spirits came over.

    "Grandpa Li, grandma!" Li Mobai dared not neglect and came forward to call people affectionately.

    The couple looked at Li Mobai, low-key and introverted, with sword eyebrows and stars. The whole person was quite calm. To that stop, like a straight javelin.

    Very good. The first reaction was very good.

    "Xiaobai, come and sit down!" Li Guokai motioned Li Mobai closer.

    Li Mobai bumped up, Li Guokai patted him on the shoulder, and then said with satisfaction, "this boy, he''s a big tall man!"

    Li Mobai has really changed a lot since his rebirth.

    Now the naked height has been 180. Put on shoes and socks, it will naturally be higher.

    "Much taller than your father and grandpa!" Li Guokai took Li Mobai to the restaurant.

    Li Mobai giggled.

    The delicious food is ready!

    In the Ming Dynasty, there were four major cuisines in Shandong, Guangdong, Sichuan and Huaiyang, and those who had eaten Diaoyutai cuisine explained that there were five major cuisines in the state.

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