颐和园的导游词（精品20篇）

先生们、女士们：

大家好，我是穿越火线旅行社的孙导，我今天特别荣幸来为您讲解世界文化遗产——颐和园。今天，我将和您一起领略它的美好景色，使您能感受到这座皇家园林的美。在我们踏上旅途之前，请您注意以下几点注意事项：1、不要在园内大声喧哗 2、不乱扔果皮纸屑等杂物 3、不吸烟不随地吐痰4、请您园内的一草一木。

进入颐和园大门，咱们绕过大殿，您就来到著名的长廊，是来颐和园观光旅游的最具特色的地方，长廊北麓万寿山，东起邀月门，西边在石丈亭为止，全长728米，共273间，曾被列入吉尼斯世界纪录，确立为世界上最长的长廊。长廊不仅长而且上面雕刻着数不胜数的图画，有风景、人物、动物等，据说风景画是在乾隆下江南时，游山玩水，意犹未尽，于是他命工匠把江南美景画到了长廊上，让人美不胜收。如果您欣赏完了长廊美丽的风采，就请到万寿山脚下集合，我将继续带您领略万寿山雄伟的景色。

既然大家都到了。请看!这就是万寿山，在您眼里它现在只不过是一座小山，但只有您爬上去，才能真正领略到它美丽的风景。大家边走边听我讲一讲万寿山佛香阁和排云殿。佛山阁处在万寿山的中心地带，高有8根巨大铁梨木柱子，佛香阁在1860年被英法联军破坏殆尽，直至光绪2019年慈禧垂帘听政重建了排云殿、佛香阁等破坏的景物，光绪20年修建完毕。排云殿是乾隆为了他母亲的寿辰而建的报恩寺，改叫排云殿，排云二字取自郭璞一诗中的“神仙排云山，但见金银坛。”上来以后，请您先进入排云殿和、佛香阁欣赏一下它们旷世仅有的雄伟，然后就请您站在佛香阁下往下眺望，您会发现万寿山一片葱绿，像绿色的海洋，一阵风拂过，万寿山漾起波纹，好看得很。

从万寿山下来就是美丽的昆明湖，全湖面积占整个颐和园面积的四分之三，湖水清波漾漾，水面被阳光一照波光粼粼，昆明湖有一道西堤，西堤上陶柳成行，十七孔桥从上跨过，湖中三岛有着各式各样的古典建筑。

今天的旅行即将结束，我相信您的这一天颐和园之游一定很愉快。在告别颐和园的这一刻，我衷心祝您工作顺利，学习上进，再见。

游客朋友们，欢迎大家来到风景优美的颐和园，我是导游小慧。此刻请大家随我一齐去畅游颐和园吧!

“一径竹阴云满地，半帘花影月笼纱”，说的便是颐和园中的月波楼。颐和园是清代的皇家园林和行宫，主要是由万寿山和昆明湖组成，占地约2点9平方千米，其中，水面积约占四分之三，园内殿堂楼阁、亭台水榭三千余间。1998年颐和园被联合国教科文组织列入《《世界遗产名录》》，并被誉为“世界几大礼貌之一”的有力象征。

了解完颐和园，我们就去颐和园里一齐游览观赏吧!

首先我们进入了有名的长廊，大家是不是很奇怪，这条长廊怎样望不到头呢其实，这条长廊有700多米长，并且，还分了273个小房间，每一间的横槛上都有五彩的画，画着人物、花草、风景，几千幅画，几乎没有哪两幅是相同的。在长廊的两旁栽满了花木，这一种花还没谢，那一种又开了，微风从左边的昆明湖上吹来，大家是否觉得神清气爽呢

从长廊出来，我们就来到了万寿山脚下。大家登上万寿山在半山腰的地方，是否看到了一座八角宝塔形的三层建筑耸立在那儿，那就是佛香阁下头一排排金碧辉煌的宫殿，就是排云殿。

从万寿山下来，大家就能看见昆明湖了，湖边围着长长的堤岸，好像给昆明湖围上了一条围巾。大家请看，岸上有好几座式样不一样的石桥，两岸栽着数不清的垂柳，在湖中心有一个小岛，从我们那里望去，岛上一片葱郁，树丛中只露出宫殿的一角，大家走过长长的大石桥，就能够去小岛上玩。在众多石桥中，最出名的要数十七孔桥了，这座桥有十七个桥洞，所以叫十七孔桥。每根桥栏杆上都有上百根石柱，柱子上都雕刻着小狮子，姿态不一，没有哪两只是相同的，这便是十七孔桥的绝妙之处。

游客朋友们，我的介绍就到那里。大家此刻能够自由活动，我想提醒大家，请不要乱丢垃圾，礼貌旅游从您做起，游玩时还请大家注意安全，两小时后我们在那里集合，多谢大家的配合!

位游客：

走完长廊，就来到了万寿山脚下。抬头一看，一座八角宝塔形的三层建筑耸立在半山腰，那就是佛香阁。登上万寿山，站在佛香阁的前面向下望，颐和园的景色大半收在眼底，葱郁的树丛，掩映着黄的绿的琉璃瓦屋顶和朱红的宫墙。正前面，昆明湖静得像一面镜子，绿得像一块碧玉。向东远眺，隐隐约约可以望见几座古老的城楼和城里的白塔。

请大家跟着我走。这就是大殿，我们绕过大殿就可以来到长廊。长廊又叫画廊，一共有237间，长达728米。每间的槛上都有一幅画，每幅画都有一个美丽的故事。

我们现在离开了长廊，来到了万寿山脚下，请大家往上看，在半山腰上的八角三层建筑就是佛香阁。那一排排金碧辉煌的建筑就是排云殿。

现在我们已经站在万寿山的山顶了。大家看下面的景色的一大半已经呈现在眼前，有葱郁的树丛，有朱红的宫墙和黄的绿的琉璃瓦屋顶，还有画舫游船缓缓游过。

下山以后，如果有需要乘坐游船的游客可以到昆明湖里荡舟。不坐船的游客请跟随我到十七孔桥上欣赏昆明湖的美。最后，我们到湖中心的小岛集合。坐船的游客请不要往湖里扔垃圾，以免污染了昆明湖的美丽景致。

今天的游览活动到此结束，谢谢大家!

尊敬的游客，我们一起进入北门，穿过一条甬道，就来到了万寿山的脚下。抬头仰望整座山，山上有规格不同的小寺庙。最高处就是佛香阁。万寿山真翠啊，翠得就像一块无暇的碧玉，看着看着，自己仿佛变成了一株小草，种在这翠绿的山前，为大山增添了一份色彩。万寿山真静啊，静得让人情不自禁地闭上眼，聆听它那美妙的音符，“叮叮咚咚、叮叮咚咚”，这是溪流奏出的乐章，“沙沙沙沙、沙沙沙沙”，这是树叶拉出的音符。万寿山真美啊，美得就连小花小草都聚集过来了。

走下万寿山，穿过一条小路，就来到了昆明湖前。昆明湖的水清得能看到水底的细沙、小鱼，如果自己就是一条小鱼，生活在这肯定是快活无比。

绕过昆明湖，走过长廊，就来到了十七孔桥前。十七孔桥犹如白色玉带跨在昆明湖上。十七孔桥桥面可以让六七匹马儿并行。十七孔桥更是精美啊，瞧，那些石雕小狮子多可爱啊，有的趴在妈妈脚下，有的坐在妈妈背上，还有的十分淘气，竟抱起妈妈的脚来玩耍……各个形态逼真，栩栩如生。

颐和园不愧为中国首屈一指的皇家园林，一次的游玩让我流连忘返，期待下次再来。

各位先生、女士你们好。今天，我带大家到北京颐和园游玩，首先，我先来介绍颐和园的历史。

颐和园原名清漪园，位于北京海淀区西郊，距市中心12公里。它是中国现存最大的一座皇家园林。

颐和园在历史上曾遭到两次严重的破坏。1860年被英法联军烧毁，后重新修建，并改名为颐和园。1920xx年再次遭到八国联军的破坏，1920xx年重修，即成现在规模。

大家清往左看，看到了吧?这就是我国着名的颐和园。颐和园主要由万寿山、昆明湖两大风景区组成，面积290公顷，其中水域面积约占四分之三。这座古典园林素以规模宏伟、娇丽多姿而享有盛名。

好了，现在我们来到颐和园著名的长廊。大家看到许许多多的画没有?这条长廊一共长729米分成273间。每一间都有画。几千幅画没有两幅是相同的。其中，镇廊之宝《桃花源记》更是有名了：它是陶渊明的到表作。还有许许多多的画，大家可以慢慢欣赏。

游完长廊，我们应该看看别的呀!大家看，我们来到听鹂馆，这个馆子原名慈禧小戏院，建于乾隆期间，因为被八国打灭，后来重建。就成为了颐和园的着名一景听鹂馆。大家先伸出头来看看吧!好了，听鹂馆我就不多介绍了，大家慢慢观赏吧。

好了，我的介绍就是这么多，大家慢慢游览我们美丽的颐和园吧!

各位朋友，此刻我们来到了长廊，它东起邀月门，西止石丈亭，全长728米，共273间。由于长廊的地基是随着万寿山地势高低而起伏的，所以廊身的走向是以昆明湖北岸的弯曲而变化的，在地势高低和变向的连接点上，还建有四个亭子代表春夏秋冬，分别是留佳寄澜秋水和清遥，设计十分的巧妙。长廊是我国园林中最长的游廊，也有画廊之称。这是因为在廊中共有苏式彩绘1.4万多幅，并且很少重复。

The promenade is 720 meters long, divided into 273 rooms, each cross on the sill between painted with colorful painting, painting the character, the grass, the landscape, as well as some historical stories and myths and legends.

Tourists now here we are at the foot of longevity hill, you look at that whether there is a three layer architecture of anise pyramid stand that is halfway up the mountain, buddhist incense under the rows of resplendent and magnificent palace, is to go to the temple.

篇二：

Situated in the western outskirts of Haidian District， the Summer Palace is 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) from central Beijing. Having the largest royal park and being well preserved， it was designated， in 1960 by the State Council， as a Key Cultural Relics Protection Site of China. Containing examples of the ancient arts， it also has graceful landscapes and magnificent constructions. The Summer Palace is the archetypal Chinese garden， and is ranked amongst the most noted and classical gardens of the world. In 1998， it was listed as one of the World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.

Constructed in the Jin Dynasty (1115-1234)， during the succeeding reign of feudal emperors; it was extended continuously. By the time of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)， it had become a luxurious royal garden providing royal families with rest and entertainment. Originally called "Qingyi Garden" (Garden of Clear Ripples)， it was know as one of the famous "three hills and five gardens" (Longevity Hill， Jade Spring Mountain， and Fragrant Hill; Garden of Clear Ripples， Garden of Everlasting Spring， Garden of Perfection and Brightness， Garden of Tranquility and Brightness， and Garden of Tranquility and Pleasure). Like most of the gardens of Beijing， it could not elude the rampages of the Anglo-French allied force and was destroyed by fire. In 1888， Empress Dowager Cixi embezzled navy funds to reconstruct it for her own benefit， changing its name to Summer Palace (Yiheyuan). She spent most of her later years there， dealing with state affairs and entertaining. In 1900， it suffered again， being ransacked by the Eight-Power Allied Force. After the success of the 1911 Revolution， it was opened to the public.

Composed mainly of Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake， The Summer Palace occupies an area of 294 hectares (726.5 acres)， three quarters of which is water. Guided by nature， artists designed the gardens exquisitely so that visitors would see marvelous views and be amazed by perfect examples of refined craftwork using the finest materials.

Centered on the Tower of Buddhist Incense (Foxiangge) the Summer Palace consists of over 3，000 structures including pavilions， towers， bridges， and corridors. The Summer Palace can be divided into four parts: the court area， front-hill area， front-lake area， and rear-hill and back-lake area.

Front-Hill Area: this area is the most magnificent area in the Summer Palace with the most constructions. Its layout is quite distinctive because of the central axis from the yard of Kunming Lake to the hilltop， on which important buildings are positioned including Gate of Dispelling Clouds， Hall of Dispelling Clouds， Hall of Moral Glory， Tower of Buddhist Incense， the Hall of the Sea of Wisdom， etc.

Rear-Hill and Back-Lake Area: although the constructions are fewer here， it has a unique landscape， with dense green trees， and winding paths. Visitors can feel a rare tranquility， and elegance. This area includes scenic spots such as Garden of Harmonious Interest and Suzhou Market Street.

Court Area: this is where Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu met officials， conducted state affairs and rested. Entering the East Palace Gate， visitors may see the main palace buildings: the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity served as the office of the Emperor， the Hall of Jade Ripples where Guangxu lived， the Hall of Joyful Longevity， Cixi‘s residence， the Hall of Virtue and Harmony where Cixi was entertained.

Front Lake Area: covering a larger part of the Summer Palace， opens up the vista of the lake. A breeze fluttering， waves gleam and willows kiss the ripples of the vast water. In this comfortable area there are the Eastern and Western Banks， the Seventeen-Arch Bridge， Nanhu Island， and so on.

颐和园原为封建帝王的行宫和花园，远在金贞元元年(1153年)即在这里修建“西山八院”之一的“金山行宫”。明弘治七年(1494年)修建了园静寺，后皇室在此建成好山园。1664年清廷定都北京后，又将好山园更名为“瓮山行宫”。清乾隆年间，经过2019年的修建工程，将该园改名为“清漪圆”。此时的清漪园，北自文昌阁至西宫门筑有围墙，东、南、西三面以昆明湖水为屏障，园内修建了许多亭台楼阁，桥廊斋榭，山清水秀，富丽堂皇。咸丰十年(1860年)，英法联军疯狂抢劫并焚烧了园内大部分建筑，除宝云阁(俗称“铜亭”)智慧海、多宝琉璃塔幸存外，珍宝被洗劫一空，建筑夷为一片废墟。光绪十四年(1888年)慈待太后挪用海军经费3000万两白银，在清漪园的废墟上兴建起颐和园。光绪二十六年(192019年)颐和园又遭八国联军的野蛮破坏，后慈禧又动用巨款重新修复。数百年来，这里一直是封建帝王、皇室的享乐之地，解放辟为公园。1961年国务院公布颐和园为全国重点文物保护单位。

颐和园包括万寿山、昆明湖两大部分，园内山水秀美，建筑宏伟。全园有各式建筑3000余间，园内布局可分为政治、生活、游览三个区域。政治活动区，以仁寿段为中心，是过去慈禧太后和光绪皇帝办理朝事、会见朝臣、使节的地方。生活居住区，以玉澜堂、宜芸馆、乐寿堂为主体，是慈禧、光绪及后妃居住之地。风景游览区，以万寿山前山、后山、后湖、昆明湖为主，是全园的主要组成部分。

在世界古典园林中享有盛誉的颐和园，布局和谐，浑然一体。在高60米的万寿山前山的中央，纵向自低而高排列着排云门、排云股、德辉殿、佛香阁、智慧海等一组建筑，依山而立，步步高升，气派宏伟。以高大的佛香阁为主体，形成了全园的中心线。沿昆明湖北岸横向而建的长廊，长728米，共273间，像一条彩带横跨于万寿山前，连结着东面前山建筑群。长廊中有精美柁画 14000多幅，素有“画廊”之美称。位于颐和园东北角，万寿山东麓的谐趣园，具有浓重的江南园林特色，被誉为 “园中之园”。

占全园总面积四分之三的昆明湖，湖水清澈碧绿，景色宜人。在广阔的湖面上，有三个小岛点缀，其主要景物是西堤、西堤六桥、东堤、南湖岛、十七孔桥等。湖岸建有廓如亭、知春亭、凤凰墩等秀美建筑，其中位于湖西北岸的清晏舫(石访)中西合璧，精巧华丽，是园中著名的水上建筑。后山后湖，林茂竹青，景色幽雅，到处是松林曲径，小桥流水，风格与前山迥然不同。山脚下的苏州河，曲折蜿蜒，时狭时阔，颇具江南特色。在岸边的树丛中建有多宝琉璃塔。后山还有一座仿西藏建筑——香岩宗印之阁，造型奇特。苏州街原为宫内的民间买卖街，现已修复并向游人开放。拥山抱水，绚丽多姿的颐和园，体现了我国造园艺术的高超水平。

尊敬的各位游客朋友们：

我是你们的导游，我姓侯，大家可以叫我侯导。今天我们游览的是北京的颐和园。许多游客来到颐和园，游完景点后，感觉就一个字 “美”。颐和园是皇家园林，现已被列入>。好了，现在就让我们来欣赏颐和园的“美”吧。

我们进了大门，绕过大殿，现在来到的就是有名的长廊。看!柱子是绿漆的，栏杆是红漆的。大家仔细看，能看到头吗?这条长廊共有七百多米长，分成 273间。大家再往横梁上瞧，都是五彩的画。这个画的是人物，那个画的是花草，还有的画的是风景。现在我们看到的所有的画中，没有哪两幅是相同的。两旁还有花木，微风吹来，有没有使大家神清气爽呢?

长廊里的画还有一段故事呢!在乾隆时期，乾隆的母亲特别喜欢听故事，经常一边游览长廊，一边听宫女讲故事。有些故事她特别喜欢就让宫女反复地将给她听。可时间一长，宫女肚子里的故事都讲完了，以前的，也都想不起来了。后来她们想出了一个好办法：每给乾隆的母亲讲一个故事，就画一副画贴在长廊上。太后呢?因为年迈眼拙，看不清彩画，对此竟毫无察觉。据说，这就是颐和园长廊彩画的来历。

走完了这条长廊，我们来到了万寿山脚下。大家可要仔细看看，山上和山下的风景可不同呦!大家抬头看，那座八角宝塔形的三层建筑是佛香阁，那闪闪发光的，是琉璃瓦，下面的宫殿是排云殿。

一会儿是自由活动时间，大家可以再细致的欣赏一下颐和园的美景。请不要乱扔垃圾、果皮，不要乱涂乱画，不要去危险的地方!下午五点整在颐和园大门集合，有事可以给我打电话。祝你们玩的高兴!

各位旅客们：

大家好!欢迎大家来到这古色古香的北京颐和园。我是本次的导游，我叫王荟茹，大家可以叫我王导。游览时注意要跟紧我，不要走丢了，而且不要损坏文物。希望在这几天能够玩得开心、吃得满意、住得舒服。

北京的颐和园历史悠久，美不胜收，规模宏大。而且还被列入了《世界遗产名录》。进了颐和园的大门，绕过大殿，我们就来到了有名的长廊。大家看!绿漆的柱子，红漆的栏杆，一眼望不到头。这条长廊有700多米长，分成273间。在每一间的横槛上还有五彩的画，画有人物、花草、风景，几千幅画中没有哪两幅是相同的。

走完长廊，我们就来到了万寿山脚下。大家往高处看，一座八角宝塔形的三层建筑耸立在半山腰上，黄色的琉璃瓦闪闪发光，那就是佛香阁。下面的一排排金碧辉煌的宫殿，就是排云殿。

登上万寿山，站在佛香阁的前面向下望，颐和园的景色大半收在眼底，葱郁的树丛，掩映着黄的绿的琉璃瓦屋顶和朱红的宫墙。正前面，昆明湖静得像一面镜子，绿得像一块碧玉。游船、画舫在湖面慢慢地滑过，几乎不留一点痕迹。向东远眺，隐隐约约还可以望见几座古老的城楼和城里的`白塔。

颐和园的景色说也说不尽，逛也逛不完。有些景点还需要细细游赏，大家还可以在颐和园里自由地漫步游玩。

大家记住，不要随地吐痰，不要随手扔垃圾，不要损坏文物!再次祝大家玩得开心!

the summer palace can be divided into two parts: longevity hill and kunming lake .the whole garden covers an area of 290 hectares, of whih three- fourths consists of a lake and rivers .this imperial garden features 3,000 room-units and covers an expanse of 70,000 square meters with more than 100 picturesque spots of interest. the layout of the summer palace includes three groups of architectures: palaces where the emperor attended to state affairs, resting palaces of the emperor and empress, and sightseeing areas. entering the east gate we will come the the office quarters. entering the east gate we will come to the office quarters. the annex halls on both sides were used for officials on duty. this is the gate of benevolence and longevity. above the door there is a plaque bearing the same name in both chinese and manchurian characters. the gigantic rock in the foreground is known as taihu rock, or eroded limestone, quarried in jiangsu province and placed here to decorated the garden. on the marble terrace sits a bronze mythical beast, known as qilin or xuanni . it was said to the one of the nine sons of dragon king. a point of peculiar interest is that it has the head of a dragon, antlers of a deer, the tail of a lion and hooves of a ox, and is covered with a unique skin. it was considered an auspicious creature that brought peace and prosperity. this grand hall is the hall of benevolence and longevity. it was built in 1750 , and was known as the hall of industrious government. emperor qianlong ruled that the halls where monarchs attended to state affairs would be named after them . after the rebuilding of the summer palace, the hall was renamed, suggesting that benevolent rulers would enjoy long lives. the arrangement of the hall has been left untouched. in the middle of the hall stands a throne made of sandalwood and carved with beautiful designs. in the background there is a screen carved with nine frolicking dragons. on either side of the throne there are two big fans made of peacock feathers, two column-shaped incense burners, crane-shaped lanterns and an incense burner assuming the form of luduan, a mythological animal which was suppose to have the power to prevent fire. the small chambers on eight side were where the emperor qianlong and empress dowager cixi rested and met officials on formal occasions. on the verandah in the foreground of the hall there are bronze statues of dragon and phoenixes which served as incense burners on major occasions. they are hollow and smoke comes through holes on their backs. also on the veranda are tai ping (peace) bronze water vats made during the reign of emperor qianlong. as a precaution in case of fire, a fire was lit underneath the vats in the winter to keep the water in them from freezing.

(at the entrance of garden of virtuous harmony)

we are now visiting the garden of virtuous harmony, where emperor qianlong and empress dowager cixi were entertained with beijing opera performances. it mainly consists of the dressing house, the grand theater building and the hall of pleasure smiles. the grand theater building known as the cradle of beijing opera” was uniquely laid out and magnificently decorated. on september 10, 1984, the garden of virtuous harmony opened its doors to visitors. there are also 7 exhibition halls with articles of daily use on display here. the staff here put up court dresses of qing dynasty in order to give the visitor a more vivid impression.

(a lakeside walk from the garden of virtuous harmony to the hall of jade ripples)

we are now standing in the middle of a rockery behind the hall of benevolent and longevity. it appears that there` s nothing special ahead. however, after we clear the rockery, we will reach kunming lake. this is a application of a specific style of chinese gardening. not far away in the lake there is a islet. it is filled with peach and weeping willow trees and serves as a ideal place to appreciate the scenery. the pavilion on the islet is called zhichun (understanding spring) pavilion and is chardcterized by four- edged, multiple eaved roofs.

(in front of the hall of jade ripples)

this group of special and quiet courtyard dwelling is the hall of jade ripples. it was first used by emperor qianlong to attend to state affairs. it was also where emperor guangxu of the late qing dynasty was kept under house arrest. this hall is a hallmark of the reform movement of 1898, emperor guanxu was empress dowager cixi` s nephew. after emperor tongzhi died, empress dowager cixi made her nephew, who was at that time four years old a successor in order to continue her wielding of power behind the scenes. when emperor guanxu was 19 years old ,empress dowager cixi relinquished power to him but continued to exert considerable influence. in 1898, the reform movement took place with the aim of sustaining the corn principles of the qing dynasty while reforming outdated laws. the movement lasted for 103 days until it was suppressed by empress dowager cixi. the emperor` s six earnest reformists were beheaded and emperor guangxu was placed under house arrest which lasted for 10 years .all the back doors were sealed and a brick was was put up behind the wooden partition on each side of the two annexes of the courtyard. emperor guangxu was closely watched by eunuchs. the wall remains intact for tourists to see.. dynasty while reforming outdated laws. the movement lasted for 103 days until it was suppressed by empress dowager cixi. the emperor` s six earnest reformists were beheaded and emperor guangxu was placed under house arrest which lasted for 10 years .all the back doors were sealed and a brick was was put up behind the wooden partition on each side of the two annexes of the courtyard. emperor guangxu was closely watched by eunuchs. the wall remains intact for tourists to see.

(in the hall of happiness and longevity)

the aged empress dowager cixi was so fond of the summer palace that she decided to live here from april through october of every year. this group of buildings served as her residence. this group of courtyard dwellings consists of a forecourt and a backyard with annex courts on each side .the whole compound was basically made of wood, which is ideal for ventilation and lighting . with its quiet and tasteful layout, the hall of happiness and longevity made life very easy and convenient. no wonder one of empress dowager cixi` s pleasure boat. on the pier there is a tall lantern post. flanking the staircase leading to the main entrance of the hall, there are bronze cranes, deer and vases, symbolizing universal peace. the interior layout is the same as the imperial court, with throne, a large table and incense burners placed in the middle. at mealtime, eunuchs-in –waiting would make a gigantic table out of this table and empress dowager cixi would dine on 128 courses. because of this more than 1,800 tales of silver would be spent each month on meals. on the east side of the living room is the cloak room. the bedroom in on its west. in front of the yaoyue (inviting the moon ) gate of the long corridor the famed long corridor is ahead. facing kunming lake and in the foreground of longevity hill, the long corridor stretches from yaoyue (inviting the moon ) gate to shizhang (stony old man) pavilion. it is 728 meters in length and consist of 273 sections and connects four octagonal pavilions. in 1990 ,it was listed in guinness book of world records.

(strolling along the long corridor)

the long corridor is one of the major structures of the summer palace .since the corridor was designed to follow the physical features of the southern slope of longevity hill , four multiple-eaved, octagonal pavilions (beauty-retaining pavilion, enjoy-the ripples pavilion, autumn water pavilion and clarity distance pavilion) were placed at bends and undulation. thus sightseers will hardly notice the rise and fall of the terrain. as a major part of the architectural style of the summer palace, the long corridor serves as an ingenious connector between the lake and the hill. scattered buildings on the southern slope were linked to creat a unified complex. this corridor can also be called a corridor of paintings ”: there are more than 14,000 paintings on its beams. some of them are of birds, flowers and landscapes of the west lake in hangzhou, zhejian province. others present scenes from literary classics. the majority of the landscape painting were done under the order of emperor qianlong, who preperred the scenery of south china.

this group of temple-shaped structures are known as qinghua (clarified china) hall ,also known as arhat hall during the reign of emperor qianlong. the original hall burned down in 1860. after it was reconstructed, it was renamed. qinghua hall is now used as a exhibition hall displaying rare cultural relics collected in the summer palace. the hall consists of 6 exhibition rooms with tens of thousands of articles of treasure on display in turn. among the exhibits there are bronze ware, porcelain, jade assemblages from the ming and qing dynasties, and rare and paintings. there is also a gigantic stone slab, which is more than 3 meters in height and width. it bears the handwritten inscriptions of emperor qianlong is commemoration of the suppression of a rebellion in the xinjiang region. only this slab survived when the angle-french allied forces set fire to the summer palace.

(in front of the gate of dispelling clouds)

now we are approaching the central part of the structures on the lakeside slope, the tower of buddhist incense within the hall of dispelling clouds. the hall of dispelling clouds was where numerous palatines kowtowed to empress dowager cixi. it was surrounded by galleries and flanked by annex halls. in the forecourt there is a pool and marble bridges . starting from the lakeside, there lies in succession a memorial archway, the gate of dispelling clouds, the hall of dispelling clouds and the tower of buddhist incense. all of these structures are built on a central axis and each is taller than its predecessor. this was designed to give prominence to the last structure, the tower of buddhist incense, which was a symbol of imperial power. the layout of this group of architectures was based on scenes described in buddhist sutras. this group of structure are among the most magnificently constructed here in the summer palace.

(inside the hall of dispelling clouds)

the original buildings on this site were burned down by the anglo-french allied forces in 1860. a new set of structures was built during the reign of emperor guanxu, and was called the hall of dispelling clouds, suggesting that it was a fairyland. the hall was built on a high terrace, and has 21 room. inside the hall are a throne, screens, tripods and mandarin fans. on a platform you will see bronze dragons, phoenixes and tripods. at the foot of the platform there are four bronze water vats, the ancient form of fire extinguishers. the 10th day of lunar october was ,empress dowager cixi` s birthday. on that day ,she sat on the throne here to receive congratulations and gifts. now we are going to pay a visit to the highlight of the summer palace- the tower of buddhist incense. what we are now standing on is a stone terrace which is 20 meters in height. it has a semi housed stairway of 100 steps, you will live for 100 years. so, let` s go !

(in the front of the tower of buddhist incense)

an octagonal structure with three storeys and quadruple eaves, the tower of buddhist incense is the very center of the summer palace, and is one of the masterpieces of ancient chinese architecture. the tower is 41 meters in height, and is buttressed by 8 solid pillars made of lignumvitae logs. with its complex structure, ingenious layout, towering terrace and convincing grandeur, the tower of buddhist incense was artfully set out by the imperial gardens and beautiful scenery surrounding it .the tower overlooks kunming lake and other picturesque spots within an area of tens of kilometers .on the west side of the tower stands baoyunge (precious cloud pavilion). it is made of bronze and is7.5 meters in height and 270 tons in weight. it resembles its wooden counterparts in every detail. it is one of the largest and most exquisite bronze pavilions still on existence in china. lamas prayed here during the reign of emperor qianlong in honor of the monarchs and their families. at the turn of the century 10 bronze windows were spirited abroad. in 1992 an american company bought the windows and returned them intact to china.

(on a hilltop leading from the back door of tower of buddhist incense)

now we can see the long and snaking western causeway and a shorter dike that divides kunming lake into three areas that contain south lake island, seaweed-viewing island and circle city island. the three island represent three mountain in ancient chinese mythology, i. e. penglai, fangzhang and yingzhou. this peculiar method of incorporating a lake a three mountains within a single garden was a brainchild of emperor wudi of the han dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, bearing testimony to feudal monarchs` s longing for longevity. as the legend goes many heavenly elixirs grew on the three mythical islands. using artificial building techniques, the ancient chinese built this masterpiece based on the myth to make the mythical on appear to be accessible to humans.

(inside the garden of harmonious interest)

setting a garden within a larger garden has been one of china traditional architectural styles. the garden of harmonious interest serves as a fine example of this. this garden was built under the order of emperor qianlong and modeled after the jichang garden (garden of ease of mind )at the foot of mount huishan, jiansu province. it was renamed by his son emperor jiaqing in 1811. the existing garden was rebuilt by emperor or guangxu. empress dowager cixi used to go fishing here. the garden features 10 waterfront platforms, pavilions and halls as well as hundreds of galleries with all of its structures facing the lake and pools, the garden of harmonious interest is basically a garden of waterscape. spanning the vast expanse of the lake and pools are five bridges, each quite different from the others. the most famous of them is the bridge known as knowing –the fishing-bridge.” it is said that more than 2,500 years ago during the warring states period, two philosophere named zhuang zi had an interesting argument by the side of a pond. zhang said, ”fish swim to and fro in the water. what happy fish!” hui asked , ”you are not a fish. how do you know they are happy? ” zhuang replied, you are not me .how do you know i don’t know? ” hui signed, i am not you ,therefore, i don’t know you . and you are not a fish ,so how do you know that fish are happy? ” zhang said, you ask me how i know fish are happy, why do you keeping me the same question?” although the garden of harmonious interest was designed after jichang garden, it not only absorbed the original designs, but exceeded it .

(outside the south entrance to suzhou shopping street)

now lets have a look at longevity hill. on the back slope of the hill stands a group of architectures. the centerpiece of structures there are known as the four continents and are dedicated to buddhism. this group was laid out and arranged in accordance with buddhist cosmology. aside from a main shrine and structures embodying the four continents, there are eight towers representing minor continents. the shrine is surrounded by four lamaist pagodas and between the major and minor continents, there two platforms representing the sun and the moon. the qing authority attached great importance to buddhism. to further strengthen ties with the ethnic minorities who practiced buddhism, the monarchs incorporated both han and tibetan styles of architecture into this group of temples. further north at the foot of the four major continent lies the suzhou shopping street. built along the back lake of the summer palace, this street stretches about 300 meters and features more than 60 stores. it includes restaurants, teahouses, pawnshops banks, drugstores dye houses and publishing houses. in order to recreate the atmosphere of ancient times, visitors will have the chance to exchange their money to ancient style chinese coins for use here. storefronts are trimmed with traditional signboards and ornaments. the commercial culture of the mid-18th century has thus been recreated.

(atop the stone bridge inside the suzhou shopping street)

visitors may be surprise to see that this shopping street is almost the same as that in south china. as a matter of fact, this street was designed after the shops along the canals in suhzhou. originally known as emperor` s shopping street, it was built during the reign of emperor qianlong. after making several inspection tours to south china and being duly impressed by its commercial prosperity, emperor qianlong ordered the construction of this street. the imperial shopping street was burnt down by anglo-french allied forces in 1860. the site remained desolated until 1987, when reconstruction began. it was opened to the public in september 1990. with commercial culture as its hallmark, the suzhou shopping street is a vivid representation of china` s traditional cultures.

(on the road from the south fate of the suzhou shopping street to the marble boat)

this is the hall of pines. from it to the west we can walk to the marble boat. the path we aree taking stretches between longevity hill and back lake. monarchs and their cohorts used to stroll along it .hence it was named central imperial path. along this path you will see lilacs all around. hence, this road is also known as the path of lilac.

(in front of the ruins of the garden of complete spring)

quite a few unique structures were burnt down during the reign of emperor qianlong, among which the garden of complete spring was one of the most famous. the ruined and desolate courtyard by the roadside was its original site, it remains to be restored. this group of structures cover an area of 4,000 square meters and features a number of halls built on three different levels. all of the structures were connected with galleries and stone staircases. with its natural and ingenious combination of pavilions, a hall, galleries and rooms, the garden of complete spring serves as a fine model for other gardens. emperor qianlong frequently visited this compound.

(along the lakeside by the marble boat)

now we have returned from the back of longevity hill to the front. there is the famous marble boat. this structure is 36 meters in length and its body was made of marble. on top of it is a two storeyed structure. the floor was paved with colored bricks. all of the windows are inlaid with multi-colored glass and the ceiling was decorated with carved bricks. the drainage system channels rain water down through four hollow concrete pillars and into the lake through the mouth of dragon heads. according to a book written by emperor qianlong, the boat was used for enjoying the scenery and was supposed to be symbolic of the stability of the qing dynasty. halfway up the slope there stands the hall for listening to orioles . the ancient chinese liken the warble of an oriole to beautiful songs and melodies, hence the name of the hall which used to be a theater. now the hall is one of the most famous restaurants in china, featuring imperial dishes and desserts. it is a must for many foreign visitors to have lunch here when then come to beijing. more than one hundred heads of state worldwide have dined here and the late premier zhou enlai has held banquets here in honor of state guests. (sightseers who want to try the restaurant can go boating after they eat. those who do not can go abroad right away. those who do not feel like taking the boat can stoll along the long corridor to the outside of the east gate). (boating on kunmin lake) we are now going to enjoy the lakeside scenery from a pleasure boat. as a main part of the summer palace, kunming lake covers an area of 220 hectares, or three fourths of the combined space of this summer resort. this natural lake is more than 3500 years old. this lake was originally called wengshan lake. in 1749 emperor qianlong ordered the construction of qingyi garden, the predecessor of the summer palace. involving nearly 10,000 laborers, the lake was expanded and turned into a peach-shaped reservoir, the first of its kind for beijing. from 1990 to 1991, the beijing municipal government ordered the first dredging of the lake in 240 years .involving 200,000 men and hundreds of dredgers and other tools, a total of 625,600 cubic meters of sludge was dredged and 205 bombs dropped by the japanese during the anti-japanese war were removed. the summer palace set a precedent for sightseeing by boat. there used to be a large imperial flotilla, of which the kunming merry dragon” was the most famous. it was destroyed by the anglo-french allied forces in 1860. to make the tour of the summer palace a more pleasant one, a large pleasure boat tai he ” (supreme harmony )was built. this double –decked boat is 37.09 meters long,8,59 meters wide and 10.49 meters high. it can travel at a speed of 9 kilometer per hour. small pleasure boats are also available to tourist. another major spot of interest on the western causeway is jingming (bright view ) hall. both its front and rear face the lake. this structure also features three two- storeyed halls of varying heights. our tour is drawing to a close as we approach the shore. today we only visited the major scenic areas of the summer palace. i have left other spot of interest for your next visit. i will show you out through the east gate. i hope you enjoyed today` s tour. thank you .good-bye and good luck.
