The first is the stunning styling.
The overall shape of the 728-meter-long corridor cannot be seen from the ground, but if you sit on an airplane and look from the air, you will find that its shape is like an upside-down bat. Why build it into a bat shape? Because there is a folk custom in our country to draw bats on buildings, and the meaning of bats hanging upside down means that blessings have arrived.
The second is feng shui.
The corridor is adjacent to Wanshou Mountain in the north and Kunming Lake in the south. From the perspective of climate, Wanshou Mountain blocks the cold wind from the north in winter; in summer, cool breeze blows from Kunming Lake in the south. Therefore, no matter how hot the weather is in summer, there is always a cool breeze in the corridor. From an environmental point of view, the promenade is surrounded by mountains and rivers, forming a beautiful picture. When people walk in the corridor, they will find that the beautiful scenery in the garden moves with the water waves and changes with the four seasons. It can be said that it is endlessly changing.
The third is the structure.
The corridor is a bracket structure, all made of wood, without a single nail. This is a superb skill left by our ancestors. In the 273 corridors, each room has a scene and a painting, and the scenery changes harmoniously. It's like walking in the corridor and the scenery moves around you.
