HANGZHOU, China, Aug. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report by haiwainet.cn: The culture of the Southern Song Dynasty has lasted for nearly a thousand years in Hangzhou, and the Deshou Palace located in Shangcheng District is undoubtedly the essence of it. The Southern Song Dynasty's Deshou Palace Ruins Museum started construction at the end of 2020 and has already finished the construction of the main building by now.

The ruins in the western area are based on the theme of the beauty of gardens in the Southern Song Dynasty. Through huge digital scrolls, scenes such as the changing seasons of the gardens of Deshou Palace are recreated. Through this "window of Song "that was once closed for hundreds of years, the world will see the unique charisma of cultures in the Song Dynasty.
