A few years ago, the editor of Guinness World Records came to China to explore the secret and found that the promenade of the Summer Palace could be included in Guinness World Records. What amazing news! So, what is striking about the promenade? The beauty of the promenade can be said to be the concentrated expression of architectural art and painting art.
The architecture of the promenade is very exquisite, which is called "Three Musts" because of its unique shape. You can't see the overall shape of the 728-meter-long corridor from the ground, but if you sit on the plane and look down from the air, you will find that it is shaped like an upside-down bat, that is, like the English letter "W". Why build it into a bat shape? Because there is a folk custom of painting and carving bats on buildings, the implication of bats hanging upside down is happiness.
The second is feng shui. The promenade faces Wanshou Mountain in the north and Kunming Lake in the south. From the climate point of view, in winter, Wanshou Mountain blocked the cold wind in the north; A cool breeze is blowing from Kunming Lake in the south. So no matter how hot it is in summer, it is cool and breezy in the promenade. From the environmental point of view, the promenade is surrounded by mountains and waters, which constitutes a beautiful picture. When people walk in the promenade, they will find that the beautiful scenery in the garden moves with the water waves and changes with the seasons. It is really endless.
The third place in the promenade is the organ. The promenade is a bucket arch structure, all made of wood, without a nail, which is the exquisite skill left by the older generation! Among the 273 corridors, one scene, one scene and one painting, the scenery changes harmoniously. It is true that people walk in the corridor and the scenery moves around them.
This is the long corridor of the Summer Palace. Do you want to see it?
