To tell engaging stories about Beijing and make its voice heard, the  Translation and Interpretation Center of Beijing Foreign Affairs Office,  in collaboration with China Academy for Public Policy  Translation of Beijing International Studies University, has initiated a  series titled “Understand Beijing: One Key Phrase a Day”. From this  year’s Beijing Government Work Report, thirty seven trending policy  buzzwords have been selected. Their elucidation,along with the official  translation,is now being published to highlight the significant measures  Beijing has undertaken in pursuit of high-quality development and the  resultant achievements. Through this series, we aim to foster a deeper  understanding of our city among foreign institutions and nationals in  Beijing.

Three hills and five gardens

These refer to a group of historical and cultural sites located in the  northwest suburbs of Beijing. The "three hills" include the Longevity  Hill, the Fragrance Hill and the Jade Spring Hill, while the "five  gardens" are the Summer Palace, Garden of Tranquility and Pleasure  (Jingyi Garden), Garden of Tranquility and Brightness (Jingming Garden),  Garden of Everlasting Spring (Changchun Garden) and Yuanmingyuan Ruins  Park. These sites offer a glimpse into the city’s rich cultural  heritage, in particular, the exquisite imperial gardens of the Qing  Dynasty (1644-1911). Known for their stunning landscapes, they epitomize  the harmony between humanity and nature.
