Introduction: In combination with its long history and culture, Beijing Garden presents its geographic advantage of “facing Yellow River and Ji River in the south, Yan Mountain in the north, Taihang Mountain in the west, and Bohai Sea in the east”. The idea of the layout scheme for the Garden, “Yandun stele”, is borrowed from the Yandun stele in Beijing, which was made upon the order of Qianlong Emperor. The image of stand - a form of the earliest construction in Chinese garden - is used as the main elements of the Garden. A stand is built near to the hill, which helps to raise the view point of sightseeing. Reaching the stand and looking around, one can command a panoramic view of the Garden, which will give full play to the advantage of the position surrounded by the whole Garden; the layout of other elements of the Garden is carried out with the stand as the main part, including paving the paths, planting the flowers, mounding the soil and allocating the stones. The fence-free layout may better integrate the Garden into the surrounding, which presents the broad and tolerant mind of the capital of China.
