颐和园导游词四年级（精品20篇）

大家好，很高兴我能成为各位的导游，今天我将带大家游赏颐和园。

园中主要景点大致分为三个区域，现在我们已经来到了第一个区域，以庄重威严的仁寿殿为代表的政治活动区。仁寿殿意为施仁政者长寿。它是慈禧太后与光绪皇帝听政的大殿。

我们经过仁寿殿，就来到了以乐寿堂、玉澜堂、宜芸馆等庭院为代表的生活区，是慈禧、光绪及后妃居住的地方。

接着我们就来到了世界上最长的长廊，这条长廊一眼望不到头，它有七百多米长，分成273间。各位可以抬头看看横栏上那栩栩如生。惟妙惟肖的画，有人物、花草、风景等，类型、图案各不相同。长廊旁边栽满了花草，一年四季都有花开，大家一定已闻到了花香吧!

经过长廊，是以后山、西区组成的，供帝后们澄怀散志、休闲娱乐的花园游览区。

我们首先来到万寿山脚下，万寿山虽然不高，但是上面有许多宫殿，抬头我们就能看到闪闪发光的佛香阁，下面是金碧辉煌的排云殿。往山上走我们就能经过云辉玉宇排楼、排云门、金水桥、二宫门、排云殿……九个层次，层层上升。那层层升高的宏伟建筑，充分展示了这座皇宫御苑的皇家气派。

登上万寿山，我们往下望，正前就是宁静的碧绿的昆明湖。蜿蜒曲折的西堤犹如一条翠绿的丝带，系着昆明湖的南北，堤上六桥，婀娜多姿、形态各异。烟波萦绕的昆明湖上，经过宏大的十七孔桥，就能到湖中心的小岛上玩。在昆明湖的岸边还有着著名的石船、神态逼真的铜牛等景点，大家可以下山再去游玩。

经过这次游园，大家一定对北京的颐和园印象深刻了吧!回去可以向朋友们介绍，欢迎他们也来北京游玩。

亲爱的游客们：

大家好!我叫王佳晖，大家能够叫我小王，今日，我是大家的导游，我要跟着大家一块游览颐和园。古代时，它是中国最大的公园，是皇家园林，祝大家玩的开心、愉快!

刚才，我们进了颐和园的大门，绕过了大殿，来到了著名的长廊。你看，绿漆的柱子，红漆的栏杆，一眼望不到头。游客们，这条长廊有七百多米长，分成273间。每一间的横槛上都有五彩的画，画着人物、花草、风景，几千幅画没有两幅是相同的，大家看一看是不是呀?微风从左边的昆明湖上吹来，使人神清气爽，游客们，你感受到了吗?

此刻，我们走完长廊，来到了万寿山脚下。一座八角宝塔形的三层建筑耸立在半山腰上，游客们，你们看到了吗?你看，那黄色的琉璃瓦闪闪发光，那就是佛香阁，好看吗，游客们?

我们此刻登上了有名的万寿山。站在佛香阁的前面向下望，颐和园的景色大半收在眼底。你看!葱郁的树丛，是多么美丽。向东远眺，是不是隐隐约约看见几座古老的城楼和城里的白塔?

从著名的万寿山下来，就来到了昆明湖。只要你们走过石桥，就能够去小岛上玩，这座石桥有十七个桥洞，叫十七孔桥，桥杆上有石柱，柱子上雕刻着小狮子，且姿态不一，你说神奇不神奇!

游客们，颐和园的景色欣赏完了，我们的活动结束了，期望你们下次有机会还来参观颐和园。

尊敬的游客：

大家好!我是王导游，很高兴为大家服务，今日我们来到美丽的颐和园游玩，期望大家不要乱扔垃圾，破坏它的美丽!

我们此刻来到了有名的长廊，它共273间，全长七百多米。每一间的横槛上都绘有彩画。两边的花草树木郁郁葱葱，一种花没谢，另一种花又开了。

不知不觉中，我们已经来到了万寿山下，大家看到那金碧辉煌的宫殿了吗?那是排云殿。大家明白吗?排云殿是慈禧在园内过生日时理解贺拜的地方。

此刻我们已经登上万寿山，那里是观看颐和园美景的最佳地方。正前面，昆明湖静得像一面镜子。绿得像一块碧玉。不知你们是否有同感?那我们下山游览一番吧!

此刻我们来到了昆明湖，湖中有个小岛，岛上一片葱郁，经过我们面前这座桥，就能够到小岛上去玩。这座桥有十七个桥洞，叫做十七孔桥。桥栏杆上有上百根石柱，柱子上雕刻着小狮子。这么多狮子，姿态不一。

这么多美景，说也说不尽，此刻大家自由活动，继续欣赏美景，一小时后在湖中的小岛准时集合!

大家好!我是欢乐旅行社的实习导游，我姓李，大家可以叫我李导。今天，由我来带领大家游览颐和园，请大家多多关照，希望大家能对我的工作提出宝贵的意见。颐和园到了，大家请随我下车。

进了大门，绕过大殿，现在的位置就是着名的长廊。你们看，这绿漆的柱子、红漆的栏杆，是一眼望不到头。这条长廊有七八百多米长，分为二百七十三间。每一间的横槛上都有五彩的画，画着人物、风景、花草，几千幅画没有哪两幅画相同。长廊两旁栽的花木，一种花还没有谢，另一种花就已经开了。微风从左边的昆明湖上吹来，使人神清气爽，大家感觉到了吗?

大家听说过关于铜牛的传说吗?

相传，在清朝光绪年间，慈禧太后为了个人享乐，挪用建立海军的几百万两白银修了颐和园。她传下旨令：颐和园要修成“天上人间”。佛香阁象征天宫，昆明湖好比天河，八方亭和龙王庙一带便是人间了。既然有天河，当然还要有牛郎和织女。於是，在八方亭下面的昆明湖边安置了一头铜牛，以象征牛郎;在石舫的旁边又建了一座织女亭。铜牛身体朝东，而头扭向西北，正冲着织女亭方向。这样，以昆明湖为界，形成了左有“牛郎”，右有“织女”的格局。从此，这头铜牛就这样朝朝暮暮遥望着“织女”，却不得相聚。

有一年的七月初七，也就是天上的牛郎与织女相会的日子，这头铜牛突然活了。它离开了原来的位置，一步一步走到湖里，向着织女亭的方向游去。怎奈昆明湖太大了，铜牛游到一半便沉了下去。人们赶忙禀报太后慈禧。慈禧开始不信，亲自到十七孔桥一看：铜牛果然不见了，怎么办?“天河”边不能没有牛郎啊!慈禧下令仿照过去的铜牛赶制一只，放在原来的地方。防它再跑，就用铁链拴住。

到了第二年七月七，铜牛又动起来，眼看铁链子也拴不住了，慈禧忙派手下几个保镖的壮汉将它拉住。几个壮汉用尽全身力气拼命拽着“牛”尾巴，由於用力过猛，“咔嚓”一声，尾巴断了。幸好这时有人拿来了更粗的铁链，七手八脚最后总算将铜牛锁住了。从此，昆明湖边便留下了一只断了尾巴的铜牛。

大家今天玩得开心吗?通过我的讲解，你们是不是对颐和园有了一定的了解呢?希望下次你们还来找我当你们的导游。再见!

各位旅客，大家好!欢迎大家来到北京，我是导游小鹃。今日我要带领大家去北京最大最美的公园——颐和园。期望大家玩的开心欢乐。

颐和园的景色说也说不尽看也看不够。此刻请大家尽情的去欣赏颐和园的美景吧!

祝大家玩的愉快!

尊敬的各位游客：

今天我们来参观颐和园。颐和园是清代的皇家园林和行宫，已被列入《世界文化遗产名录》，请大家在游览时不要乱扔垃圾，破坏颐和园的环境。因为颐和园游客较多，请大家不要单独行动以防走失。

我们首先来参观颐和园的长廊。这条长廊是中国古典园林中最长的一条。它位于万寿山南坡与昆明湖之间的狭长地带，它全长723米，分273间，每一间的横栏上都绘有彩画，共有14000余幅，没有任何两幅是相同的。有人会想，那么多画，它是怎么来的呢?这里面还有一个小故事，我来给大家讲一讲。有一年，乾隆和他的母亲来游赏颐和园，因为乾隆的母亲喜欢听故事，在游览颐和园长廊时一边游览，一边让宫女给她讲故事，宫女们怕忘了故事的内容，宫女们就把内容画在横栏上，提示自己，所有才有了今天横栏上的彩画。

我们现在在万寿山的脚下。大家向上看，那座八角宝塔形的三层建筑物就是佛香阁。佛香阁高41米，修筑在20米高的地基上，内有八根坚固的铁梨森巨柱支撑，结构复杂，气势磅礴。下面一排排金碧辉煌的宫殿，就是排云殿。

现在，我们来到了东岸，向远处看，那里有个小岛，小岛的名字叫南湖岛，连接它们的正是举世闻名的十七孔桥。十七孔桥建于公元1736年，桥由17个孔券组成，所以叫十七孔桥。十七孔桥桥长150米，横跨东岸和南湖岛，状若长虹卧波。桥上的石雕极其精美，每个桥栏上都雕有神态各异的狮子，大小共544个，这些狮子没有哪两只是相同的，不亚于卢沟桥的狮子。

颐和园的美丽景色说也说不完，希望大家有机会细细游赏。

评语:语言生动、表述清楚 ◆导游的引导词设计精当，真正起到了引领参观的作用。 再加上丰富翔实的资料，使人有身临其境的感觉尤其是最后一段，更突显了导游的身份和作用。

大家好，我是你们这次的导游，今天就由我来给大家讲解颐和园的风景名胜。

请大家随着我走。现在，我手指的这个是著名的长廊。这个长廊可不一般。它全长700多米，分成273间。大家可以看到，每间的横槛上都有许多五彩图画，画得各式各样，有人物、花草、风景，几千幅画没有哪两幅是相同的。难怪被称为“世界第一廊”。

大家往前看，这就是碧波荡漾的昆明湖。这片湖静得像一面镜子。游船经常从这里经过，大家可以听到船上游人们的欢歌笑语。

在昆明湖的上面，就是闻名遐迩的万寿山。站在这里，我们可以看到颐和园的全部风景。站在这里看，整个颐和园真可谓是无比壮观。郁郁葱葱的树丛掩映着黄的绿的琉璃瓦屋顶和朱红的宫墙。

一座八角宝塔形的三层建筑耸立在半山腰上，黄色的琉璃瓦闪闪发光，这就是古香古色的佛香阁。

Ladies and Gentlemen: Welcome to the Summer Palace. (After the self-introduction of the guide -interpreter) I hope this will be an interesting and enjoyable day for you .

During our tour, you will be introduced to time honored historical and cultural traditions, as well as picturesque views and landscapes.

The construction of the Summer Palace first started in 1750. At that time, the Qing Dynasty was in its heyday and China was a powerful Asian country with vast territories. The monarch in power then was Emperor Qianlong. With supreme power and large sums of money, he summoned skillful and ingenious artisans from all over the country to carry out this construction work in honor of his mother `s birthday. After 15 years and one seventh of the nation` s annual revenue spent, the Garden of Clear Ripples was completed and served as a testimony to China` s scientific and technological achievements. In 1860, this vast royal garden was burnt down along with the Yuanming Yuan (Garden of Perfection and Brightness) by Angol-French allied forces. In 1888, Empress Dowager Cixi reconstructed the garden on the same site and renamed it the Garden of Nurtured Harmony (Summer Palace). Characterized by its vast scope and rich cultural embodiments, the Summer Palace has become one of the most famous tourist sites in the world.

This is the main entrance to the Summer Palace-the East Gate On top of the eaves of the door there is a plaque bearing a Chinese inscription which means “Garden of Nurtured Harmony” , whose calligrapher was Emperor Guangxu. The gate that you are now entering was used exclusively by the emperor, the empress and the queer mother. All others used the side doors.

(Inside the East Gate)

the Summer Palace can be divided into two parts: Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake .The whole garden covers an area of 290 hectares, of whih three- fourths consists of a lake and rivers .This imperial garden features 3,000 room-units and covers an expanse of 70,000 square meters with more than 100 picturesque spots of interest. The layout of the Summer Palace includes three groups of architectures: palaces where the emperor attended to state affairs, resting palaces of the emperor and empress, and sightseeing areas. Entering the East Gate we will come the the office quarters. Entering the East gate we will come to the office quarters. The annex halls on both sides were used for officials on duty.

This is the Gate of Benevolence and Longevity. Above the door there is a plaque bearing the same name in both Chinese and Manchurian characters. The gigantic rock in the foreground is known as Taihu rock, or eroded limestone, quarried in Jiangsu Province and placed here to decorated the garden.

大家好!我是欢乐旅行社的实习导游，我姓李，大家可以叫我李导。今天，由我来带领大家游览颐和园。颐和园是清代皇家园林和行宫，是我国重点文物保护单位，已经列入《世界遗产名录》。游览时请大家自觉保持它的清洁。颐和园到了，大家请随我下车。

进了大门，绕过大殿，现在的位置就是著名的长廊。你们看，这绿漆的柱子、红漆的栏杆，是一眼望不到头。这条长廊有七八百多米长，分为二百七十三间。每一间的横槛上都有五彩的画，画着人物、风景、花草，几千幅画没有哪两幅画相同。长廊两旁栽的花木，一种花还没有谢，另一种花就已经开了。 微风从左边的昆明湖上吹来，使人神清气爽，大家感觉到了吗?

走完长廊，我们现在来到的是万寿山脚下。大家抬头看一看，一座八角宝塔形的三层建筑耸立在半山腰上，黄色的琉璃瓦闪闪发光，那就是佛香阁。下面的一排排金碧辉煌的宫殿就是排云殿。

现在，我们在万寿山的佛香阁。大家向下望，颐和园的景色大半收在眼底。看，葱郁的树丛，掩映着黄、绿的琉璃瓦屋顶和朱红的宫墙。前面，昆明湖静得像一面镜子，绿得像一块碧玉。游船、画舫也都从湖面慢慢滑过，几乎不留一点儿痕迹。大家向东远眺，隐隐约约可以望见几座古老的城楼和城里的白塔。

我们现在所在的地点是昆明湖。昆明湖围着长长的堤岸，堤上有几座式样不同的石桥。大家走过石桥，就可以去湖中心的那座小岛上去玩。大家看，我现在用手指着的那座桥有十七个桥洞，所以叫十七孔桥。桥栏杆上有着上百根石柱，柱子上雕刻着小狮子，这些狮子姿态不一，没有哪两只是相同的。好，现在大家可以去小岛上玩儿，两小时后在这儿集中，然后我们坐车回去。解散!

( 快上车的时候)大家今天玩得开心吗?通过我的讲解，你们是不是对颐和园有了一定的了解呢?希望下次你们还来找我当你们的导游。再见!

Having the largest royal park and being well preserved， it was designated， in 1960 by the State Council， as a Key Cultural Relics Protection Site of China. Containing examples of the ancient arts， it also has graceful landscapes and magnificent constructions. The Summer Palace is the archetypal Chinese garden， and is ranked amongst the most noted and classical gardens of the world. In 1998， it was listed as one of the World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.

Constructed in the Jin Dynasty (1115-1234)， during the succeeding reign of feudal emperors; it was extended continuously. By the time of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)， it had become a luxurious royal garden providing royal families with rest and entertainment. Originally called "Qingyi Garden" (Garden of Clear Ripples)， it was know as one of the famous "three hills and five gardens" (Longevity Hill， Jade Spring Mountain， and Fragrant Hill; Garden of Clear Ripples， Garden of Everlasting Spring， Garden of Perfection and Brightness， Garden of Tranquility and Brightness， and Garden of Tranquility and Pleasure). Like most of the gardens of Beijing， it could not elude the rampages of the Anglo-French allied force and was destroyed by fire. In 1888， Empress Dowager Cixi embezzled navy funds to reconstruct it for her own benefit， changing its name to Summer Palace (Yiheyuan). She spent most of her later years there， dealing with state affairs and entertaining. In 1900， it suffered again， being ransacked by the Eight-Power Allied Force. After the success of the 1911 Revolution， it was opened to the public.

Front Lake Area: covering a larger part of the Summer Palace， opens up the vista of the lake. A breeze fluttering， waves gleam and willows kiss the ripples of the vast water. In this comfortable area there are the Eastern and Western Banks， the Seventeen-Arch Bridge， Nanhu Island， and so on. On the western bank float six distinct bridges amongst which the Jade-Belt Bridge is the most beautiful.

颐和园是我国现存最完好、规模最宏大的古代园林。位于北京市海淀区境内，距天安门20余公里，占地290公顷。

颐和园原为封建帝王的行宫和花园，远在金贞元元年(1153年)即在这里修建“西山八院”之一的“金山行宫”。明弘治七年(1494年)修建了园静寺，后皇室在此建成好山园。1664年清廷定都北京后，又将好山园更名为“瓮山行宫”。清乾隆年间，经过2019年的修建工程，将该园改名为“清漪圆”。此时的清漪园，北自文昌阁至西宫门筑有围墙，东、南、西三面以昆明湖水为屏障，园内修建了许多亭台楼阁，桥廊斋榭，山清水秀，富丽堂皇。咸丰十年(1860年)，英法联军疯狂抢劫并焚烧了园内大部分建筑，除宝云阁(俗称“铜亭”)智慧海、多宝琉璃塔幸存外，珍宝被洗劫一空，建筑夷为一片废墟。光绪十四年(1888年)慈待太后挪用海军经费3000万两白银，在清漪园的废墟上兴建起颐和园。光绪二十六年(192019年)颐和园又遭八国联军的野蛮破坏，后慈禧又动用巨款重新修复。数百年来，这里一直是封建帝王、皇室的享乐之地，解放辟为公园。1961年国务院公布颐和园为全国重点文物保护单位。

颐和园包括万寿山、昆明湖两大部分，园内山水秀美，建筑宏伟。全园有各式建筑3000余间，园内布局可分为政治、生活、游览三个区域。政治活动区，以仁寿段为中心，是过去慈禧太后和光绪皇帝办理朝事、会见朝臣、使节的地方。生活居住区，以玉澜堂、宜芸馆、乐寿堂为主体，是慈禧、光绪及后妃居住之地。风景游览区，以万寿山前山、后山、后湖、昆明湖为主，是全园的主要组成部分。

在世界古典园林中享有盛誉的颐和园，布局和谐，浑然一体。在高60米的万寿山前山的中央，纵向自低而高排列着排云门、排云股、德辉殿、佛香阁、智慧海等一组建筑，依山而立，步步高升，气派宏伟。以高大的佛香阁为主体，形成了全园的中心线。沿昆明湖北岸横向而建的长廊，长728米，共273间，像一条彩带横跨于万寿山前，连结着东面前山建筑群。长廊中有精美柁画 14000多幅，素有“画廊”之美称。位于颐和园东北角，万寿山东麓的谐趣园，具有浓重的江南园林特色，被誉为 “园中之园”。

占全园总面积四分之三的昆明湖，湖水清澈碧绿，景色宜人。在广阔的湖面上，有三个小岛点缀，其主要景物是西堤、西堤六桥、东堤、南湖岛、十七孔桥等。湖岸建有廓如亭、知春亭、凤凰墩等秀美建筑，其中位于湖西北岸的清晏舫(石访)中西合璧，精巧华丽，是园中著名的水上建筑。后山后湖，林茂竹青，景色幽雅，到处是松林曲径，小桥流水，风格与前山迥然不同。山脚下的苏州河，曲折蜿蜒，时狭时阔，颇具江南特色。在岸边的树丛中建有多宝琉璃塔。后山还有一座仿西藏建筑——香岩宗印之阁，造型奇特。苏州街原为宫内的民间买卖街，现已修复并向游人开放。拥山抱水，绚丽多姿的颐和园，体现了我国造园艺术的高超水平。

颐和园英文导游词

good morning ladies and gentlemen:

my name is . i’m very honored to be youre guide. i do hope all of you could like my guiding and enjoy everything on your pleasant day. this morning we are going to visit the summer palace. the summer palace is located on the northwest suburbs of beijing, about 20 kilometers away from the center of the city. so it will take us about 1 hour to get there. before we arrived at the summer palace, i would like to introduce you a brief introduction of the woderful imperial garden. the summer palace is the most beautiful and the largest imperial garden existing in chinan, and it is the best-preserved imperial garden in the world. in 1998, it was placed on the list of world cultural heritage by the unesco.

the summer palace was first built as an imperial garden at the beginning of 12th century in the jin dynasty. the construction continued to the yuan and ming dynasties. in the qing dynasty, the building of imperial gardens reached its culmination. during emperor qianlong’s reign, the famous ‘three hills and five gardens’ were built on the northwest suburbs of beijing. the summer palace was a part of it and at that time was called the garden of clear ripples. in 1860, the anglo-french allied forces invaded beijing. the ‘three hills and five gardens’ were burnt down to ashes.

in 1888, the empress dowager cixi spent the navy fund having the garden of clear ripples rebuilt. and then she renamed it the garden of nurtured harmony (summer palace).

in 1900, the allied forces of eight powers invaded beijing. the summer palace was once again severely damaged. it was rebuilt again in 1902.

in 1924, the last emperor puyi was driven out of the palace, after that, the summer palace was turned into a public park.

ladies and gentlemen, please look over there, in front of us is an archway. it is called “emptiness and the collection of excellence”, and it is the first scenery of the summer palace. the two chinese words on the front side of the archway mean emptiness and refer to everything in nature and in the scenery. the two words on the back side mean collection of excellence and refer to the tranquility of the beautiful scenery just within the garden.

(outside the east palace gate)

now, we have arrived at the east palace gate. it’s the main entrance of the summer palace. on top of the gate there is a plaque with three chinese characters ‘the summer palace’ in emperor guangxu’s handwriting. the gate that we are now entering was used by the emperor, the empress only in the old days.

(inside the east palace gate)

now we are inside the summer palace. in front of us is the second gate of the summer palace— the gate of benevolence and longevity. the annex halls on both sides were used for officials on duty and the offices of the privy council. well, before we start our tour in the garden, i will briefly introduce you the layout of the summer palace and our tour route. o.k., ladies and gentlemen, may i have your attention please? let’s look at the map together, from it we can see the summer palace covers an area of 290 hectares, which the lake occupies the three-fourths. the whole garden can be divide into three parts: the area was for political activities, resting places of the emperor and empress, and sightseeing areas. our tour will start from the area of the political activities, and end off the marble boat. on the way, we will visit the main constructions of the summer palace, such as the hall of jade ripples, the hall of happiness and longevity, the long corridor, the hall of dispelling clouds and so on. it will take us about two hours to visit the summer palace. please attention, we won’t walk back and our driver will pick us up at the north gate. should you get lost or separated from the group, please meet us at the north gate.

ok, everyone, let’s start our tour from the emperors’ office --- the hall of benevolence and longevity. follow me please.

(inside the courtyard of the benevolence and longevity)

passing through the gate of benevolence and longevity, we have already entered the courtyard of the hall of benevolence and longevity. the huge rock in front of us is taihu rock. it was quarried from taihu lake in jiangsu province, so it was known as taihu rock. please look around the courtyard and you can see there are four grotesque shaped rocks placed in each corner of this courtyard, representing the four seasons of the year. the taihu rocks are usually used as decoration for beautifying gardens and they are thin, crease, leak and penetration in characters.

the bronze mythical animal behind the taihu rock is known as suanni or some people call it qilin. according to ancient chinese mythology, the dragon had nine sons, but none of them became a real dragon. suanni was one of the nine sons of the dragon. it was an auspicious animal that could avoid evil spirits in ancient lengeds. suanni has the head of dragon, the antlers of dear, the hooves of ox and the tail of lion.

(in front of the hall of benevolence and longevity)

this grand hall is the hall of benevolence and longevity. it was first built in 1750. the name of this hall taken from a book entitled ‘lun yu’ by confucius doctrine means, “ those who are benevolent can enjoy a long life.” this hall was the place where emperor guangxu and empress dowager cixi held audience and handled state affairs when they were in the summer palace. for protecting the historical cultural relic, we couldn’t enter the hall. so i would like to briefly introduce you the decorations in the hall of benevolence and longevity. the arrangement of the hall has been left untouched. in the middle of the hall stands an emperor’s throne carved with nine dragons on design. there are two big fans on both sides behind the throne which are made of peacock feathers. behind the throne there is a big screen with red sandalwood frame and glass mirror inlaid. on the mirror there are 226 chinese characters of the word ‘longevity’ written in different styles. there are two scrolls on each side of the wall with a big chinese character ‘longevity’ written on it. it was said that the word ‘longevity’ written by empress dowager cixi. there are 100 bats painted at the background of the scroll symbolizing happiness.

well, please look up the two pairs of incense burners in the shape of a dragon and a phoenix in front of the hall. they were used to burn incense sticks to create the appropriate atmosphere. in the old days, the dragon and phoenix were the symbol of the emperor and empress. according to ritual, the dragons should be placed in the center while phoenixes were to either side in front of the hall.however, here, the dragons are off to the sides and the phoenixes are in the middle. this was a product of the end of qing dynasty when empress dowager cixi handled state affairs behind the screen.

(at the entrance of garden of virtuour harmony)

we are now visiting the garden of virtuous harmony, where emperor qianlong and empress dowager cixi were entertained with bejing opera performances. it mainly consists of the dressing house, the grand theater building and the hall of pleasure smile. the grand theater building was known as the ‘cradle of beijing opera’ was uniquely laid out and magnificently decorated. there are 7 exhibition halls with articles of daily use on display here.

(in front of the grand theater building)

this is the grand theater building. of the three main theater buildings of the qing dynasty, the grand theater building is the tallest and largest one. the other two are changyin pavilion in the forbidden city and qingyin pavilion in the mountain resort in chengde. the grand theater building, a three-storied structure, has a double roof with upturned eaves. it is 21 meters high and 17 meters wide. performances could be staged simultaneously on three levels. the top one was a symbol of happiness, the middle level was emolument level and the bottom stage was named longevity stage. each level has the entrance and the exit. there are some trapdoors in the ceiling and below the floor for ‘celestial being’ to fly down from the sky and the ‘devils’ to appear from the earth to set off a certain atmosphere on the stage. there is also a well and five ponds built under the stage for a good effect of water scenes. the stage is open to three sides.

well, please look at the construction that stands right opposite the grand theater building, it’s the hall of pleasure smile. the empress dowager cixi used bo sit inside the hall to watch and enjoy the peking opera.

(a lakeside walk from the garden of virtuous harmony to the hall of jade ripples)

we are now standing in the middle of a rockery behind the hall of benevolence and longevity. it appears that there’s nothing special ahead. however, after we clear the rockery, we will reach kunming lake. this is an application of a specific style of chinese

gardening.

now, we are walking along the bank of the kunming lake. look over there, not far away in the lake there is an islet. it’s called the spring heralding islet. the pavilion on the islet is called the spring heralding pavilion. a number of willow trees and peach trees were planted on this islet. in early spring, when the ice begins to melt, peach trees are red in pink blossoms, willow trees turn a tender green signaling that the early spring has returned. hence the name ‘heralding sping pavilion’.

(in front of the hall of jade ripples)

this group of special and quiet courtyard dwellings is the hall of jade ripples. the words “jade ripples” came from a verse “gentle ripples gushing out of jade spring”, which refers to the rippling water in the lake. it was first used by emperor qianlong to attend to state affairs. in the late qing dynasty, it was where emperor guangxu was put under house arrest.

this hall is a hallmark of the movement of 1898. emperor guangxu was emperor dowager cixi’s nephew. after emperor tongzhi died, emperor dowager cixi made her nephew, who was at that time four years old a successor in order to continue her hold on imperial power. she ‘handled state affairs behind the screen’. after emperor guangxu ‘managed state affairs personally’ at the age of 19, a political conflict occurred between the conservatives and the reformers. in 1898, the reform movement took place with the aim of sustaining the core principles of the qing dynasty while reforming outdated laws. the movement lasted for103 days until it was suppressed by empress dowager cixi. it was called the ‘hundred-day reform’. after the reform failed, emperor guangxu was put under house arrest here. for the strict control of him, empress dowager cixi ordered to build many brick walls in the front, back, and on the right and left of the hall of jade ripples. at that time the hall was entirely sealed up, just like a prison. today only the hidden walls in the east and west annex room still maintain its original appearance. it is open to visitors as the relic related to the 1898 reform movement.

(in front of the chamber of collecting books)

this is the chamber of collecting books. in chinese, it’s called “yi yun guang”. “yun” was a kind of fragrant weed. in ancient times, it was usually used as termite repellent in rooms where books were stored.in the emperor qianlong’s reign, the purpose of the hall was for collecting books. later it was converted into a residence. there used to be the residence of guangxu’s empress longyu, and his favorite concubine zhenfei.

(in the hall of happiness and longevity)

this group of courtyard is the hall of happiness and longevity. it was the major architectural structure in the living quarters and the residence of empress dowager cixi. the whole compound was basically made of wood, which is ideal for ventilation and lighting. with its quiet and tasteful layout, the hall of happiness and longevity made life very easy and convenient. in front of the hall of happiness and longevity there is a huge rock placed in the middle of this courtyard named “qing zhi xiu” and nicknamed as “family bankruptcy rock”. this huge rock was discovered in fangshan district by a ming official mi wanzhong. he wanted to transport it to his own garden “shaoyuan”. in the old days, transporting such rock was very difficult. after spending all his money to ship it, he still could not succeed in doing this. the big rock was then left on the roadside somewhere near liangxiang county, 30 kilometers southwest of beijing. hence it was nicknamed “family bancruptcy rock”. later emperor qianlong discovered it and transported to the garden of clear ripples and laid in front of the hall of happiness and longevity. the colorful glass chandeliers hanging inside the hall was introduced from germany in 1903. it is one of the earliest electric lights in china.

(in front of the gate of inviting the moon of the long corridor)

ladies and gentlemen, you may have visited some of the best museums in the world, such as the louvre in france and the museum of great britain. now i will show you a special gallery in the palace—the long corridor. in 1990, the long corridor was listed in the guinness book of world records as ‘the longest painted corridor’ in the world’. it would be a pity if we leave the summer palace without visiting the long corridor and the marble boat. now, here we go, the long corridor first!

(strolling along the long corridor)

the long corridor starts from the gate inviting the moon to the shizhang gate. it is 728 meters long and consists of 273 sections. the long corridor is one of the major structures of the summer palace. since the corridor was designed to follow the physical features of the southern slope of longevity hill, four multiple-eaved, octagonal pavilions ( retaining the goodness pavilion, living with the ripples pavilion, autumn water pavilion, clear and far pavilion) were placed at bends and undulation, they represent four seaons of a year. thus visitors will hardly notice the rise and fall of the terrain. as a major part of the architectural style of the summer palace, the long corridor serves as an ingenious connector between the lake and the hill. scattered buildings on the southern slope were linked to create a unified complex.

the long corridor is the longest covered veranda in any chinese garden. on the purlins and beams of the covered veranda, there are over 14,000 suzhou style paintings. among them, there are 546 color paintings relating to the scenes of west lake in hangzhou, zhejiang province. beside the colorful paintings of natural scenery, there are also scenes of flowers, birds, fish, insects, mythology and figures. the paintings of figures are mainly adapted from ancient chinese classical literature, such as ‘pilgrimage to the west’, ‘the romance of the three kingdoms’, ‘the western chamber’, “water margin’, and ‘the dream of the red mansion’.

(in front of the gate of dispelling clouds)

now we are approaching the central part of the structures on the lakeside slope, the tower of buddhist incense within the hall of dispelling clouds. the central axis line starts from the wharf next to the lake to the sea of wisdom on top of the hill. the main architectural structures here are the gate of dispelling clouds, hall of dispelling clouds, tower of buddhist incense and the sea of wisdom, which altogether form a splendid three-dimensional landscape. the layout of this group of architectures was based on scenes described in buddhist sutras. this group of structures are among the most magnificently constructed here in the summer palace. this is a good place to taking photos, we will stay here for about 15 minutes.

now we are walking continuely along the long corridor, the next scene we are going to visit is marble boat.

look over there! halfway up the slope there stands the hall of listening to orioles. it was the place for emperor and empress to enjoy opera and court music. it is said the singing of orioles is very pleasing. before the garden of virtuous harmony was built, empress dowager cixi enjoyed opera and music here. now the hall is one of the most famous restaurants in china, featuring imperial dishes and desserts.

this is the famous marble boat. a famous scientist of china’s eastern han dynasty once said, “water can float the boat, but it can also tip it over.” a prime minister of tang dynasty wei zheng once used these words to persuade li shimin, the emperor of the tang dynasty. he said people are water and the emperor is the boat. people can support a good emperor. however, they also can overthrow the dynasty. emperor qianlong built this huge boat in the garden in order to make the allusion concrete. on one hand, emperor qianlong encouraged himself to run the country well. on the other hand, he wanted to show that his rule of the qing dynasty was as firm as the marble boat and there was no fear of overturning the boat. the marble boat was the place for emperor qianlong to sample tea and enjoy the scenery of kunming lake. emperor qianlong once came here to engage in the freeing of captive animals. in the times of qianlong, the marble boat was a chinese styled stone boat with a chinese style wooden superstructure on the top of it. when it was rebuilt in the times of guangxu, a foreign and chinese elements mixed resulting in two wheels to be added to the boat, one on each side. the floor was paved with colored bricks. all of the windows were inlaid with multiple-colored glass. a big mirror was installed on the superstructure for viewing rain.

our tour is drawing to a close after we visited the marble boat. today we only visited the major scenic spots of the summer palace. i have left other spots of interest for your next visit. i will now show you out through the ruyi gate. our coach is waiting for us outside the gate. i do hope you enjoyed today’s tour. thank you.
