造园首在选址。选址得当,可以事半功倍。计成在《园冶》中指出,只有“相地合宜”,才能“构园得体”。地址要好,清洁卫生,有丘有壑,草地和树林相间”。避暑山庄之所以能够在造园史上独树一帜,选址得当是其中一个重要原因。避暑山庄当时所以选择这块地方建造宫苑,除政治上的原因之外,主要是因为它具有优越的自然条件。避暑山庄的园林艺术成就,已得到世人的公认,造园家相地择址的匠心,也会给我们许多有益的启示。

The location of the summer resort

The key point of garden construction is site selection. The right site can get twice the result with half the effort. Ji Cheng pointed out in "YUAN YE" that only a suitable site" can "construct a proper garden" -- a good location, clean and hygienic, with hills and ravines, grass and woods interchanging. The proper site selection is one of the important reasons why the summer resort is unique in the history of gardening. Apart from political reasons, the main reason why the Summer Resort chose this place to build the palace was that it had superior natural conditions. The artistic achievements of the summer resort garden have been recognized by the world, and the ingenuity of the site selection will also give us a lot of beneficial enlightenment.
