The characteristics of the Summer Palace promenade are

The Summer Palace Promenade is an extremely harmonious building at the intersection of the foot of Wanshou Mountain and Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace. It is a must-see spot for taking pictures of the Summer Palace, which is a classic of the Summer Palace. Its characteristics are not only long-standing, but also rich in artistic works and cultural heritage. It is located between Wanshou Mountain and Kunming Lake, which makes it look very harmonious and beautiful from a distance and rich in the cultural heritage of royal gardens.

The promenade was built in the Summer Palace during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, with a total length of 728 meters. The promenade was destroyed by the British and French allied forces and then rebuilt. The promenade of the Summer Palace is the longest among the ancient buildings in China, but the famous promenade here not only wins by its length, but also wins by its exquisite architecture, rich paintings and tortuous routes. Every beam of the Summer Palace promenade is covered with colorful paintings, exceeding 14000 * *, which has been recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records. There are many "Soviet-style color paintings" on the promenade, with diverse themes, including mountains, flowers and birds, scenery and people. There is another legend about the origin of the Summer Palace Corridor. It is said that Cixi likes to walk by the lake in the Summer Palace. The same scenery every day makes Cixi very tired. One day when Cixi was walking, it began to rain. Cixi had an idea to build a corridor that could not get wet, so there was the Summer Palace Corridor. ?

Detailed introduction of the Summer Palace Promenade: The Summer Palace Promenade starts from Inviting Moon Gate in the east and ends at Zhang Shiting in the west, with a total length of 728 meters and a total of 273 rooms. This seemingly endless corridor is one of them. Because it has a unique length compared with similar buildings, this corridor was listed in Guinness World Records in 1992.

China's gardening art has been brought into full play in the Summer Palace, leaving many amazing landscapes. There are four octagonal pavilions in the middle of the promenade of the Summer Palace, which symbolize spring, summer, autumn and winter respectively, namely "Stay well", "Send Orchid", "Autumn Water" and "Qingyuan". On the east and west sides of the corridor, there is a short corridor extending to the shore of the lake, connecting two waterfront buildings, Duoufang and Yuzaoxuan. There is a short corridor in the west and north, followed by a three-story building, with a mountain and a lake on the first floor. Along the corridor, you can see flowers and trees, see mountains and play with water, and the scenery moves with the pace, which is beautiful. ?

The central building complex of the Summer Palace is located at the junction of the southern foot of Wanshou Mountain and Kunming Lake. The promenade is also part of this group of buildings. Centered on Paiyun Hall at the foot of Foxiang Pavilion, the highest point of the Summer Palace, it runs east-west and extends to both sides. Its length echoes the height of the Buddha Pavilion.

The porch is an integral part of ancient architecture and has a long history in China. For example, in the Tang dynasty, the buildings in the Tang dynasty were porch-style, and the whole building was surrounded by porches, and then all the buildings were connected. This kind of porch is also used in residential buildings, such as the larger quadrangles in residential buildings with verandahs. It is also used in gardens.

Corridor architecture plays an important role in China classical garden architecture. There are verandahs, winding corridors, cloisters, climbing corridors and so on. As an important landscape in the royal garden, the promenade of the Summer Palace is the longest veranda, which is a collection of all kinds of corridor-style buildings.

The entrance itself, as far as the structure of its building itself is concerned, is not so complicated, and it should be said that it is the simplest building. The general veranda is a four-purlin veranda, which means it is the simplest building. Generally, a veranda is a veranda with four purlins, that is to say, from its framework, there are four purlins in this section. The depth of the porch is generally not large, like the porch used in the courtyard, which is generally more than one meter deep and is known as the "four-foot porch". The promenade of the Summer Palace is even larger because it is a royal garden. Sometimes, in terms of function, it is deeper than this ordinary house. Probably, I remember it was more than two meters deep, and it was also a four-purlin shed building.

This strip-shaped promenade connects the scattered scenic spots in front of Wanshou Mountain to form a rain or shine viewing line. Inviting the Moon Gate is the starting point to the east of the promenade. Seen from the outside, the pavilion is deep.
