Miscellaneous PicturesThe mini Great Wall shown below is to be found near the top of Longevity Hill - a short distance down (about 50m) to the east, on the lake side.
There are many places within the Summer Palace where you can stop for a traditional chinese tea - and traditional snacks.
Many of the pathways in the Summer Palace, such as the one that runs parallel to the Long Corridor, have edges decorated with pebbles that form pictures.
An Example Bronze Vat
The Studio of Distant Views Because the Studio of
Distant Views (TiaoYuanZhai) is high on Longevity Hill
and faces the northern outside street, Empress Dowager
Cixi used to stand there to see the common people’s
flower market on the eighth day of the fourth month of
the chinese lunar calendar. |
