Among the 4000 museums in China, Peace Garden Museum, located in Chaoyang District, Beijing, is a special existence. Although it is young - only seven years old, it has far-reaching significance and takes the culture of world peace as its theme.

The former Moroccan Ambassador to China sent a poem to the Museum: "Being developed into a beautiful international community,the Peace Garden was born not so long in the world ; with green shadowy trees reflecting in the clear lake water, which wins praise as peace forerunner from all over the world”

 

The peaceful call from landscape stones along the lake

Outside the Peace Garden Museum, there was a "huge" lake full of clear water. There are Peace Garden Fu in the garden. The ancients said: "harmony is precious", what is its value? It should be in the realm of harmony and tolerance.

Walking on the green lawn on both sides of the corridor beside the lake, you can see the graceful demeanor of Peace Garden , with 178 pieces of beautiful landscape stones most sighted. On the stone surface are maps of 178 countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the United States, engraved with bronze inscriptions of speeches, signatures and Chinese translations from different languages by former UN Secretary General H.E. Ban Ki Moon and Chinese Foreign Minister H.E. Yang Jiechi, as well as by foreign ambassadors to China, officials and politicians of international organizations. All the inscriptions have a common theme "peace".

The stone has been included in the Guinness Book of world records for the largest number of peaceful inscriptions by foreign Ambassadors to China and leaders of international organizations.

Just across from the landscape stones, on the grass, white pebbles are used to build maps of the countries where the Ambassadors peace messages are located. These 178 pieces of bronze carving landscape stones with novel designs, beautiful appearances and peace implications show how Ambassadors and leaders of international organizations around the world call for peace with their diplomatic talents and cultural heritage. Today, it has become a unique outdoor landscape of Garden Museum outside Peace Garden Museum.

The former Kuwait's ambassador to China,H.E.Faisal Rashid GAis,  wrote on the landscape stone."As a citizen of a country that has suffered aggression, I know very well the meaning of peace. I don't understand why the world can't get rid of the horror of war. However, when I am in King’s garden villas, I feel calm and peaceful

The former Russian Ambassador to China H.E.Razov wrote in Russian on the landscape stone: "Peace is of most precious value, and to maintain world peace is our sacred obligation."

"Peace is our common goal," H.E.Clark Reed, the former US Ambassador to China, wrote on the landscape stone.

The former British Ambassador to China H.E.Han kuifa wrote on the landscape stone: "Development and democracy are the real guarantee of peace."

The former German Ambassador to China H.E.Stanzer left an inscription on the landscape stone in German: No freedom, no peace. No peace,no freedom. "

These sincere calls are intended to pray for peace in the world and permanent peace for mankind. No wonder Dr. Li Ruohong, the founder of this special environment, is known as the Ambassador for Peace. Because he devoted himself to creating Peace Garden with the landscape stone inscriptions of peace from 178 ambassadors to China and leaders of international organizations, and he called for peace with far-reaching implications, and set the Guinness world record. It is not only one Li Ruohong and pieces of beautiful landscape stones that constructs this international non-governmental communication platform. Mr. Li wants to use the rocks of Xibaipo to witness the starting point.

These icy rocks are endowed with the earnest meaning full of vitality in Peace Garden. Dr. Li Ruohong said that the international space he created is a road of great love of harmony and peace.
