along the Long Corridor)
The Long Corridor starts from the Gate Inviting the Moon to the
Shizhang Gate. It is 728 meters long and consists of 273 sections.
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 ( Retaining the Goodness
Pavilion, Living with the Ripples Pavilion, Autumn Water Pavilion,
Clear and Far Pavilion) were placed at bends and undulation, they
represent four seaons of a year. Thus visitors 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 Lakeand the Hill. Scattered
buildings on the southern slope were linked to create a unified
complex.
The Long Corridor is the longest covered veranda in any Chinese
garden. On the purlins and beams of the covered veranda, there are
over 14,000 Suzhou style paintings. Among them, there are 546 color
paintings relating to the scenes of West Lake in Hangzhou, Zhejiang
Province. Beside the colorful paintings of natural scenery, there
are also scenes of flowers, birds, fish, insects, mythology and
figures. The paintings of figures are mainly adapted from ancient
Chinese classical literature, such as ‘Pilgrimage to the West’, ‘The
Romance of the Three Kingdoms’, ‘The western Chamber’, “Water
Margin’, and ‘The Dream of the Red Mansion’.
(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 Hallof
Dispelling Clouds. The central axis line starts from the wharf next
to the lake to the Sea of Wisdom on top of the Hill. The main
architectural structures here are the Gate of Dispelling Clouds,
Hall of Dispelling clouds, Tower of Buddhist Incense and the Sea of
Wisdom, which altogether form a splendid three-dimensional
landscape. The layout of this group of architectures was based on
scenes described in Buddhist sutras. This group of structures are
among the most magnificently constructed here in the Summer Palace.
This is a good place to taking photos, we will stay here for about
15 minutes.
