Entering the gate of the Summer Palace, we came to the longest veranda in the world, which was listed in the Guinness Book of Records. This promenade is more than 700 meters long and divided into 273 rooms. All kinds of flowers, people and scenery are painted on the sill of each room, and each painting is different.
Ladies and gentlemen, after a long corridor, we came to the foot of Wanshou Mountain. Look, that glittering octagonal pagoda-shaped building is the famous Buddha Pavilion. According to legend, there is an ancient tomb belonging to a princess in the Ming Dynasty at the foot of Wanshou Mountain. Many emperors wanted to build royal gardens there. But no one dared. Emperor Qianlong said, "There is nothing to be afraid of." He personally went to the scene and saw that the stone gate had been opened, engraved with "You don't move me, I won't move you". He was so scared that he built a temple on Wanshou Mountain to ward off evil spirits. This is the Buddha Pavilion.
Ladies and gentlemen, this lake under Wanshou Mountain is Kunming Lake. The stone bridge on the lake is a famous 17-hole bridge. Let's count, from left to middle, to the biggest hole, and then from right to middle, to the biggest hole. Are all nine? Because nine is an extremely positive number, which means good luck. So there are seventeen holes. According to legend, Master Lu Ban helped build the building.
Ladies and gentlemen, there are many scenic spots in the Summer Palace. Let's go and see for ourselves. 1 hour. See you at the east gate.
