The location of the Summer Palace happens to be the closest place to the mountain in the whole city of Beijing. Wanshou Mountain, which is made of mud, is just connected with the "Long Mai" in the western hills of Beijing. From here, it can return to Taihang Mountain and Qinling Mountain and go straight to the "Zushan" of Kunlun Mountain.

The Summer Palace covers an area of 293 hectares and is mainly composed of Wanshou Mountain and Kunming Lake. There are more than 3,000 palace garden buildings in various forms, which can be roughly divided into three parts: administration, life and sightseeing.
The administrative district centered on Renshou Hall is the place where Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu sat in the hall to listen to politics and meet foreign guests. Behind Renshou Hall are three large quadrangles: Leshou Hall, Yulantang and Yiyuntang, where Cixi, Guangxu and Empress Dowager lived. Deheyuan Theater on the east side of Yiyun Pavilion is one of the three major theaters in Qing Dynasty.
Seen from the wisdom sea at the top of Wanshou Mountain, the Summer Palace consists of Buddha Pavilion, Dehui Hall, Paiyun Hall, Paiyun Gate and Yunhui Yuyufang, forming a distinct central axis. At the foot of the mountain is a "corridor" more than 700 meters long. There are more than 8,000 colorful paintings on the corridor, which is called "the first corridor in the world". In front of the promenade is Kunming Lake. The west dike of Kunming Lake is modeled after the Su Causeway of the West Lake.
