Entering the door, you will see a four-pillar and three-story archway, facing east and back west. The title on the east side is "Yanxu", which means "Welcome the Rising Sun". "Extend" means introducing, welcoming, and inviting.

The title on the west side is "Shu Yun", which can be understood as "showing the landscape of clouds"."Shu" means showing.

After passing the Shuyun Parai Tower, you will find the east embankment of the Summer Palace. There is a stele pavilion by the lake. There is a Kunlun stone tablet in it, called the Kunlun stone tablet on the east embankment.

There are three existing Kunlun stone tablets in the Summer Palace. In addition, there are also Kunzhitu Kunlun stone tablets and Xiuyi Bridge Kunlun stone tablets. This stele is engraved with poems inscribed by the Emperor Qianlong on all sides. Due to long-term weathering, the writing on the stele has become blurred. In the past, the stone tablets could be touched, but later fences and stele pavilions were added to protect them.

The fence is marked with a poem engraved on the east side: The West Embankment is the East Embankment on this day. Has its name been confirmed? The lake shines thousands of green, and the shadows on the walls are lined up. The thorn wave business brings new ideas, and the waves forget the opportunity to start a wild business. The abandoned land is cherished between the embankments and the walls, guiding the planting of rice to see the continuous ridges.

When I arrived at the lake, the sky was not very clear, the water surface was lightly misty, and the Seventeen-Arch Bridge was quietly covered with a layer of gauze.

Wanshou Mountain seemed to have just woken up from a dream, giving a somewhat illusory feeling.





Along the east bank northbound, looking around, Kunming Lake is as calm as a mirror. On the north bank and west bank, there are winding mountains, vague towers, towering pavilions, and bridges and corridors.

Move your steps and change the scenery, and the scenery changes with the people.

South Lake Island shows its appearance.


Looking west from the east embankment, you will see two towers. They are the towers of Yuquan Mountain. The Summer Palace is just a clever reference. On the south summit of Yuquan Mountain, there is an octagonal seven-story pavilions called Yufeng Tower. On the top of the north summit is a King Kong Throne Tower, called Miaotou Tower, which Beijingers call the Cone Nail Tower. The two northern and southern towers echo each other from afar and form an interesting contrast, becoming a scene of the Summer Palace.

The tower on Yuquan Mountain will be better photographed from the West Causeway or Liangshan Park west of the Summer Palace.

A few mandarin ducks swam over and broke the tranquility of the water, and Kunming Lake immediately came to life.


The farther you go north, the wider the view is. The 17-hole Bridge connects with Nanhu Island and the West Dike. The distant mountains and close views are so beautiful.

Willows are weeping on the bank, white clouds are faint in the sky, Wanshou Mountain is getting closer and closer, and the Foxiang Pavilion is getting more and more real.

The Wenchang Pavilion at the northern end of the East Causeway is the largest of the six Chengguan buildings in the Summer Palace. It was built in the 15th year of Qianlong (1750). It was burned down by the British and French allied forces in 1860 and rebuilt during the Guangxu period.

Wenchang Pavilion is a traditional sacrificial building, which is used to worship the legendary god in charge of literary fortune and fame, and to ensure the prosperity of a place's literary style. This Wenchang Pavilion and the Suyun eaves on the west of Kunming Lake for Martial Saints symbolize the "Civil and Military Assistants". You need to purchase tickets separately to visit Wenchang Pavilion.

Cross the gate of Wenchang Pavilion, cross a wooden bridge, and come to Zhichun Pavilion.

The original construction of Zhichun Pavilion began in the 25th year of Qianlong. The island is surrounded by water and isolated from the shore. In the 19th year of Guangxu, when the Zhichun Pavilion was rebuilt, in order to facilitate Cixi's visit to the island, a flat bridge was specially built to the east of the pavilion to connect the original small island in the center of the lake with the east bank of the lake. It is said that the word "Zhichun" originates from the Song poem "Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet". The thawing of Kunming Lake starts here every spring, so it is named Zhichun Pavilion.

Zhichun Pavilion is the best viewing point to enjoy the panoramic view of the Summer Palace. Standing on the Zhichun Pavilion, Wanshou Mountain and Foxiang Pavilion in the north, Changdi, Yuquan Mountain and Xishan Mountain in the west, Seventeen-Confucius Bridge and Nanhu Island in the south, Wenchang Pavilion on the east bank can be seen in a panoramic view.

From the Zhichun Pavilion, you can see the Seventeen-Confucius Bridge, Yuquan Mountain, Wanshou Mountain, Foxiang Pavilion, Shuimu Ziqin Wharf, and Duiou Boat, with excellent views.

Shuimu Ziqin is a dock, and Shuimu Ziqin Hall is the palace gate of Leshou Hall. The south of the hall faces Kunming Lake. In front of the gate, there is a bluestone carved pier, which is the place where the Empress Dowager Cixi entered and exited the Summer Palace from the waterway. The lamp stand in front of the door is more than two feet high and has a semicircular shape at the top. It is called the "Sea God Searching Lamp". It can be hung with an air lamp for the lighting of Cixi's evening garden.

To the north of Zhichun Pavilion, there is a group of lake-facing buildings: Lotus Fragrance Pavilion, Yulan Hall, Rixi Jialou, Shuimu Ziqin, etc., which together with Zhichun Pavilion form an encircling harbor.

Leshoutang was once the place where Cixi lived. The word "Leshoul" comes from the "Analects of Confucius-Yongye" chapter. Confucius said: "The wise enjoy water, the benevolent enjoy Leshan, the wise move, the benevolent are still, the wise are happy, and the benevolent live long. The plaque "Leshoutang" is the calligraphy of Emperor Guangxu.


"Copper cast deer, cranes and large vases are arranged symmetrically on both sides of the hall, taking the homophonic meaning of" Six Directions Peace." Flowers in the courtyard include magnolia, crabapple, peony, etc., famous flowers fill the courtyard, implying "jade hall wealth".

The bronze carvings are exquisite, the model year is clear, and the plum blossoms on the deer are clearly visible.

Put a copper vat on each side. The copper vat is used to hold water for fire prevention. The stone seat underneath has a door. In winter, charcoal fire can be put on to prevent freezing and ice.

In the courtyard of Leshoutang, behind the Shuimu Ziqin Hall, there is a beautiful large stone lying across it like a screen with the inscription of Emperor Qianlong: "Qingzhixiu".

This stone is very interesting. It is said that it was produced in Fangshan, Beijing. It was first discovered by Mi Wanzhong, an official of the Ming Dynasty, and he spared no expense to transport it home. Since there were no tools to transport such large objects at that time, we had to build roads first, wait until winter before pouring water and freezing ice, and then pull horses from the ice. As a result, halfway through the journey, Mi Wanzhong used up all his family wealth, and the stone could only be thrown on the roadside, so people called it the ruined stone.

During the Qianlong period, the emperor passed by Liangxiang to worship his ancestors. Seeing that this stone was very beautiful, he sent someone to transport it to Leshoutang. Unexpectedly, the stone was too big and had to be demolished to move in. The Empress Dowager thought it was an unknown item and would not allow Qianlong to transport it. Later, Minister Liu Luoguo stepped forward to relieve the situation and said that this huge stone looked like Ganoderma lucidum, a symbol of good life. It was placed in front of Leshou Hall and could add auspicious aura to the royal family. Only then did the big stone finally be transported into Leshou Hall, and the inscription "Qingzhixiu" was inscribed.

Therefore, it is generally rare for people to take photos with this stone, and the tour guide will also remind tourists. Of course, if you think it is a symbol of good fortune, it doesn't matter.

Leshoutang goes west, passes through the Zhaoyue Gate, and comes to the promenade.

The Summer Palace Promenade on the north bank of Kunming Lake starts from Yaoyue Gate in the east and ends at Shizhang Pavilion in the west. It passes through Paiyun Gate in the middle. It is 728 meters long and is the royal corridor of the Empress Dowager Cixi. In 1990, the corridor was rated as the longest gallery in the world for its unique architectural form and colorful paintings.

On both sides of the corridor are symmetrically dotted with four double-eaves octagonal pavilions: Liujia, Jilan, Qiushui and Qingyao, symbolizing the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The corridor is not only a viewing corridor that protects against the wind and rain, but also an art gallery. The paintings on the corridor are unique, with a total of more than 14000 paintings.

These paintings contain stories of characters, auspicious animals, flowers and birds, all of which are wonderful and vivid. If you look closely, it will probably take several days.

The corridor is a treasure house of art. Architecture, aesthetics, calligraphy, and painting are all fully expressed here and are worth tasting carefully.

The small bridge and small courtyard on the north side of the promenade provide tranquility in the hustle and bustle and are very tasteful.

This place is called Yangyunxuan. It is a building dating from the Qianlong period and a resting place for the concubines, life wives and Ge Ge who came to the garden with Cixi during the Guangxu period. Miao Suyun, the female painter of Cixi, once lived here. It is now closed to the outside world.
The door of Yangyun Pavilion is bell-shaped, and there are nine precious bottles on the two flat tops. The stone inscription "Rivers Swimming and Clouds Flying" is engraved on the top of the door, and the couplet carved by Qianlong Royal Brush on the outside is "Outside the sky, there are smoke waves of the Milky Way, and green trees bloom in the clouds, fragrant rain drifts."
In front of Yangyun Xuan, there is a Liantang, commonly known as Huluhu Lake, with a white marble stone arch bridge.

The white marble stone fence on the south side faces the sentries standing guard and holds their posts meticulously.

The center of the corridor is also the central axis of Wanshou Mountain-Paiyun Gate. This gate is the entrance to Wanshou Mountain and Foxiang Pavilion. You need to purchase a separate ticket to enter.

Paiyun Gate is located in the middle of the front mountain of Wanshou Mountain. It has risen one after another through Paiyun Gate, Paiyun Hall, Dehui Hall, Foxiang Pavilion and Wisdom Sea, and has become the most spectacular building in the Summer Palace. The resplendent towers, halls and pavilions highlight the unparalleled royal atmosphere.

In front of Paiyun Gate, there are two vividly shaped and beautifully cast bronze lions on the left and right, male on the left and female on the right, majestic and fierce.

On the south side of Paiyunmen and on the north bank of Kunming Lake, there is a Yunhui Yuyu archway.

This is the starting point of the central axis of the Qianshan Building Complex of Wanshou Mountain. The archway is surrounded by mountains and rivers, playing the role of diverting water and connecting mountains. The archway has three rooms, four pillars and seven floors. The roof is covered with yellow glazed tiles and painted with golden dragons and seals. It is noble and elegant.

Clouds and jade spaces mean that this is a world where palaces and colorful clouds complement each other. The plaque on the south side of the archway is written with a star arch and a Yao pivot, which means a place of immortals guarded by stars.

The beautifully carved golden dragon on the archway not only symbolizes honor, but also is a precious work of art.

On both sides of the gate of Paiyun Gate, there are ten Taihu Lake stones and two tiger skin stones, known as the twelve zodiac stones.

Because the Hall of Paying Clouds was the place where Cixi celebrated her birthday, children and civil and military officials had to kneel down in front of the hall. It is said that in order to please the Old Buddha, Li Lianying specially obtained these twelve stones from Changchun Garden and arranged them on both sides of the Paiyun Gate, symbolizing that people across the country are celebrating the birthday of the Old Buddha. Think about it, as long as you are Chinese, no one can be outside the twelve zodiac signs. This flattery is definitely enough.

If you come to the Summer Palace, you must take a closer look at these stones. They look like the zodiac sign. There seems to be no standard answer. Whatever you see is what they look like.


Yuzao Xuan is located in the western section of the corridor, between Qiushui Pavilion and Qingyao Pavilion. It can look around the beautiful scenery of Kunming Lake and is also an excellent location to overlook Yuquan Mountain and the pagoda on the top of the mountain. The name of Yuzao Xuan comes from the Book of Songs. Xiaoya. Yu Zao "talks about the relationship between fish and water and grass, and extends to the relationship between a minister and a monarch: a minister obeys the monarch, just as a fish obeys the seaweed. Emperor Qianlong used this name as a metaphor for having fun with the people and peace of the country.

The paintings in Yuzao Xuan are quite exquisite and colorful.

Yuquan Mountain seems to be right in front of you.


The three-story octagonal pavilion facing Yuzao Xuan and connected to Yuzao Xuan is called the "First Floor with Mountains and Lakes". It is also an excellent viewing point in front of Wanshou Mountain.

The plaque on the first floor of the mountain and lake light was inscribed by Emperor Qianlong, and the plaque style is "Jade Black Paint Yinwen and Gold Character Plaque". This building was originally a building dating from the Qingyi Garden period, but was later rebuilt by the Empress Dowager Cixi. During the Guangxu period, the old plaque was renovated and then hung.

Climbing the building and looking far away, you can see Kunming Lake, Xidi, Yuquan Mountain, and Xishan Mountain. You can have a panoramic view of the lakes and mountains.

Continuing west is the Listening Oriole Hall.

Tingli Hall was originally the Cixi Small Theater, and later became a court-style restaurant. It was built during the Qianlong period, burned down by the British and French coalition forces in 1860, and rebuilt in 1892. It later became a place where Cixi often came to enjoy opera and music.

As a time-honored Chinese brand, Tingli House is one of the only restaurants in the country that operates a "Manchu and Han Banquet". It is designated as a place to receive central leaders and foreign dignitaries. It has successively received party and state leaders as well as British Elisa White Girls and more than a hundred foreign heads of state.

If as a tourist, I want to have a meal at Tingli Pavilion, what I know is that there is currently only a set meal of 168 yuan per person. As for the variety and quality of the set meal, because there was no attempt, there was no say.

The end of the corridor reaches the Shifang Cruise Wharf at the corner of Kunming Lake, and then heads north.

There are many types of cruise ships in the Summer Palace, and the boats at each terminal are different, and of course the prices are different.

Wenchang Pavilion Battery Boat Wharf, Yulantang Pedal Boat Wharf, Bafangting Boat Wharf: There are hand rowing and pedal boats. The ferry routes are all electric pleasure boats, and there are also rowing boats on the lotus appreciation route.

The stone boat is a representative aquatic building in the Summer Palace. When I was a child, I felt that the boat was very big and the bow was very high. Perhaps for protection, it was unknown when the stone boat could no longer be boarded. It still looks powerful and beautiful now, but it is not as tall as it felt when I was a child.

The stone boat was built in the 20th year of Qianlong. Its hull was carved from huge rocks. It was originally a Chinese-style cabin building. It was burned down by the British and French allied forces in 1860. During the reconstruction in the 19th year of Guangxu, Cixi embezzled military expenditures and rebuilt it into a Western-style cabin building, and named it Qingyan Fang in the sense of clear river and peaceful sea. The top is decorated with brick carvings, the bottom of the ship is paved with tiles, and the windows are decorated with stained glass.
Qianlong built a large "stone boat" on the shores of Kunming Lake not only because he had a special liking for "boats", but also because he wanted to use the ancient saying that "water can carry a boat, but also overturn it" to warn future generations. We must comply with public opinion, govern officials clearly, and at the same time imply that the Qing Dynasty was as solid as a rock.

The stone boat is also a good place to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Summer Palace. It has both pavilions and cruises, which reminds us of memories.


On the north side of the stone boat, we come to the Xing Bridge.

Xinqiao was built in the 23rd year of Qianlong and was deeply loved by Emperor Qianlong. It is considered to be the most exquisite pavilion bridge in the Summer Palace.

The name of Xingqiao is said to come from the Book of Songs: The uneven vegetables flow from left to right. My fair lady, I pray for her. The bridge is named after its poems, elegant and beautiful.

There is a wooden square pavilion with four corners built on the bridge. The square pavilion has double layers and double eaves, and carved beams and painted buildings. The workmanship is exquisite and full of charm. It is a masterpiece of bridge architecture.

Xing Bridge is a three-hole stone bridge with a granite foundation. The water dividing walls on both sides of the bridge hole are prismatic, and the top is carved into a bucket arch. There is a stone lion on each of them. It is powerful and simple, naive and exquisite.

There is a sky-high archway at each of the east and west ends of the bridge, and the inscriptions on both sides are written by the Emperor Qianlong Dynasty. The inscriptions on both sides of the archway on the east side are: Wei Cui and Fei Xiang, and the archway on the west side are: Yanyu and Yunyan. It is very consistent with the surrounding scenery, showing Emperor Qianlong's writing skills and leisure.

The wooden components, kissing animals, carvings, color paintings, and inscriptions of the archway are all extremely exquisite, showing the royal style.

Xing Bridge spans the Wanzi River and is located at the boundary between the front and back lakes of Kunming Lake. On the west of the bridge, there are five sacred temples, Yingxu Tower, Chenghuai Pavilion and other buildings. The winding river bank leads to Water Street, and the end of Water Street is Suyun Estuary Pass.

Suyunyan Chengguan is commonly known as Guandi Temple. It is on the west side of Wanshou Mountain, also known as Beique Gate. It was built in the 18th year of Qianlong. The city gate faces north to south, and the city platform has south and north facing arched gates. There are crestal walls on the city platform and horse paths on both sides. Suyun eaves is the gateway to the park from the west. It is in the east and west with Wenchang Pavilion in Wanshou Shandong, with one article and one martial arts, symbolizing both civil and military governance and martial arts.

Going north through the doorway of Suyun Eaves, you see a semicircular stone arch bridge-Banbi Bridge, which spans the Houxi River. This bridge was a building dating from the Qingyi Garden era. The bridge has a tall arch and the emperor's pleasure boat can pass under the bridge. The bridge connects the north and south royal roads and is a pedestrian path leading to the west of Wanshou Mountain. It can be seen that the stone steps on the bridge have been stepped on uneven, and it is estimated that tourists may soon be banned.

Next to the Banbi Bridge, there is also a relatively gentle stone bridge-Shuangmu Bridge. It is said that it was built during the Cultural Revolution for Lin Biao's convenient driving to the park. It has been preserved since then, forming the current landscape of the two bridges.

Jiehu Bridge is located at the boundary between the inner and outer lakes of Kunming Lake and the Houxi River in the Summer Palace. It is the northernmost bridge on the West Embankment. In the Qingyi Garden era, this bridge was called Liu Bridge, while the Liu Bridge at the southern end of the West Embankment was called Jiehu Bridge. The names of the two bridges were exchanged when the Summer Palace was rebuilt.

"The length of the embankment spans the east and west boundaries, and the first of the six bridges is divided into inner and outer lakes." Jiehu Bridge is the first on the north side of the six bridges on the west embankment. It crosses the Jiehu Bridge and enters the west embankment.

The Summer Palace is built after the West Lake in Hangzhou, and the West Causeway is the Su Causeway of the West Lake. There are six bridges on the Su Causeway, and there are also six bridges on the West Causeway. Willows are planted all over the coast of the Su Causeway, and willows are also weeping on the western Causeway. There are even 19 willows from that time still standing proudly on the enchanting western Causeway. The difference is that the Su Causeway is straight, while the West Causeway is winding.

Looking at Wanshou Mountain on the west embankment, it is another scene. There are some side lights in the morning, but it is suitable in the afternoon.

On the Bashi Wind Bridge, the bridge pavilion is rectangular with double eaves and four slopes. The bridge is named after the Book of Songs "Bin Feng. The "July" describes the production and life scenes of people farming silkworm during the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is very consistent with the contents of the water towns and the country, and men farming and women weaving in the West Farming and Weaving Map of Binfeng Bridge. This bridge is connected to a tributary of the North Changhe River (Yuhe River), through which Yuhe River water can flow into Kunming Lake.

There is a large lotus pond outside the west embankment. Although the full flowering period has passed, three or two lotus flowers can still be seen blooming hard, making it even more noble and vivid.


Mandarin ducks are resting on the tree next to the lotus pond. I have only seen mandarin ducks in the water before. It is the first time I have seen mandarin ducks climbing the tree. It can be regarded as a scene of the Summer Palace.

The Yudai Bridge is the only stone bridge with an arch-shaped structure among the six bridges in the West Dike. It was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and rebuilt during the Guangxu period. The jade belt bridge is shaped like a jade belt. The semicircular bridge holes and the reflection in the water form a full moon. The reflections of the observation columns around the bridge railing are uneven, floating on the silver-like water, making the scene moving.

It is said that Emperor Qianlong would pass under this bridge every time he went to Xishan Mountain. To this day, Emperor Qianlong's imperial inscription is still left at the bridge head. To the east is the "Luodai-Hen flat moon mirror, and the rainbow light shines hundreds of feet across the crystal curtain." To the west is "the earth is close to the Yingzhou Galaxy and the sky, and there are many watersides in the scenic spots of Pengdao." It shows that Qianlong loved this bridge and this scene deeply.

The body and railing of the Jade Belt Bridge are all carved with blue white stone and white marble. The carvings on the railing are vivid and lifelike, showing the superb skills of the craftsmen.

Look at Wanshou Mountain again.


The western embankment divides Kunming Lake into inner and outer lakes, and there are special lines for enjoying lotus in the outer lakes.

The mirror bridge was built in Qianlong and rebuilt during the Guangxu period. The name of the bridge comes from the poem of Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty,"Two rivers sandwich the mirror, and two bridges fall into the rainbow."

Looking at the Yuquan Twin Towers here, the landscape effect is good.

Lianqiao was built during the Qianlong period and rebuilt in the Guangxu year. There is a square pointed bridge pavilion on the bridge. Lianqiao should be the best place to enjoy lotus flowers and a good place to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yuquan Mountain.


Looking at Wanshou Mountain and Yuquan Mountain here, the effect is particularly good.


Jingming Tower is located between Lianqiao and Liuqiao. It consists of a main building and an auxiliary building. The building's shape is taken from the painting of lotus pavilion enjoying the cool in the Yuan Dynasty, and the name of the building is derived from Fan Zhongyan's Yueyang Tower's "Spring is peaceful and the scenery is bright, and the waves are calm." Currently, part of it is under maintenance.

Are the Taihu Lake stones in the building like fierce cattle with strong hair?

Jingming Tower is an excellent location to enjoy the panoramic view of the Summer Palace. It is unobstructed in any direction and has an excellent view.


Looking to the west, you can see the shadow of Yufeng and Pagoda.


Looking north, the fragrance of Buddha flies far away.


Looking east, the bridge island is connected.

Looking south, the embroidery waves are swaying.


The southernmost bridge on the west embankment-Liuqiao. It was built during the Qianlong period and rebuilt during the Guangxu period. It is named after Zi Juyi's poem: "The Willow Bridge is Clear and There is Cotton". Liuqiao is also a house bridge, and the bridge pavilion is the ridge of the mountain with double eaves.

Walking on the west embankment, one scene at a time, and one scene at a time. The scenery changes with people, changing and beautiful. I can't help but admire the superb gardening wisdom and technology of our ancestors, which is amazing.


At the end of the west embankment is the Jingmi Diversion Canal (Long River). Go left, turn around Xiuyi Bridge and come to the east bank.

Xiuyi Bridge is located at the junction of Kunming Lake and Changhe River, and at the east embankment and west embankment. When emperors and queens of the Qing Dynasty came to the Summer Palace, they often boarded boats from Yihongtang or Leshan Garden outside Xizhimen, and entered Kunming Lake through the long river under Xiuyi Bridge. In order to meet the requirements of sailing, Xiuyi Bridge was built into a high-arched single-hole bridge, which Beijingers used to call "Luoguo Bridge".

Walking on the east embankment, the scenery changes again. The six bridges on the west embankment and the Jingming Tower just now have become the background, and the lakes and mountains are graceful together.

South Lake Island is getting closer and closer, and the Seventeen-Arch Bridge is in sight.

The corridor is like a pavilion. Located at the east end of the Seventeen-Arch Bridge, the architectural form is stretched and steady, and the momentum is powerful. It sets off each other in space with the Seventeen-Arch Bridge and Nanhu Island, and is seamlessly matched.

Arrived near the Seventeen-Arch Bridge.

The 17th Arch Bridge was built in imitation of the famous Lugou Bridge during the Qianlong period. It connects Nanhu Island in the west and connects like a pavilion in the east. It flies between the east embankment and Nanhu Island. It is the largest bridge in the Summer Palace. Viewed from afar, it looks like a long rainbow flying over the vast expanse of blue waves, connecting the world with Penglai Immortal Island.

Why should seventeen holes be built into the 17-hole bridge? Because the large hole counting from both ends of the bridge to the middle of the bridge is exactly "9", and "9" is the largest positive number and the favorite auspicious number of feudal emperors, the bridge was built into 17 holes.

On the railings on both sides of the Seventeen-Arch Bridge, 544 stone lions of different sizes and shapes are carved, 59 more than the Lugou Bridge. Some of these stone lions with different looks hug each other, some play and frolic, some chase each other, and some focus on the scenery. All of them are vivid, vivid and lovely, and have a unique interest.

There are two exotic beasts at each bridge, vivid, powerful and vivid.

On the north side of the bridgehead of the Seventeen-Arch Bridge, a bronze ox in the town water lies on a stone seat, looking calm and lifelike. On the back of the bronze ox is engraved in seal characters with a four-character inscription specially written by Emperor Qianlong.

After passing Tongniu and returning to Xinjian Palace Gate, the day's tour ended.
