Nanhu Island at the Summer Palace / 南湖島 (颐和园 / 頤和園)
Nanhu Island / 南湖島 lies southeast of Kunming Lake opposite Longevity Hill. When Emperor Qianlong (1711-1799) enlarged Kunming Lake, he ordered workers to save the temples and buildings but toexcavate the earth around them, thus creating Nanhu Island. Together with other two islands in Kunming Lake, Nanhu Island symbolizes the legendary 'three fairy islands on the ocean'. Chinese people have long believed that there are several fairy islands floating on the ocean with celestial halls, like paradise. With an area of about 1 hectare (2.47 acres), it is the largest island in the Summer Palace.
- 17-Arch Bridge / 十七孔桥 / 十七孔橋: Has 17 different types of arches on it. It incorporates features of the Precious Belt Bridge in Suzhou and the Lugou Bridge in Beijing. The entire bridge is 150 metres long and eight metres wide.
- Dragon King Temple / 龙王庙; 龍王廟: A temple built to worship the Dragon King.
- Hanxu Hall / 涵虚堂 / 涵虛堂: Located at the north of Nanhu Island, directly facing the Tower of Buddhist Incense on the north bank.

쑹화강 상류에 수력발전소가 있는 펑만댐이다. 한 겨울에도 잘 얼지 않는다는 쑹화호가 수려한 경치를 자랑한다. 영하 20도의 추위에도 얼지 않는 쑹화강. 그 강물에서 피어오르는 물안개와 매서운의 추위가 만나 만들어내는 지린시의 명물 우송을 기다렸지만 볼 수 없었다. 다음 날 새벽, 물안개가 피어올랐다. 쑹화강의 겨울 백미, 우송을 볼 수 있단 희망도 함께 솟아올랐다. 아침 해가 뜨자마자 많은 여행객들이 발길을 재촉했다. 강 위에 작은 섬, 우송도를 찾기 위해서다. 이곳의 우송은 중국 4대 경관 중 하나다. 촬영 애호가들은 매년 11월 중순부터 우송을 보기 위해 이곳을 찾는다. 물안개가 피어오르자, 우송을 볼 수 있단 기대에 여행객들은 흥분해있었다. 안개가 지나간 자리, 나무 마디마디에 우송이 피어있다. 이 자연만큼 아름다운 작품이 또 있을까. 저는 60세 이상 노인인데도 우송을 보니 어린아이처럼 즐겁습니다. 태양이 막 떠올랐을 때 우송이 제일 예뻐요. 태양이 우송을 비출 때 맑고 투명해요. 그때 사진을 찍으면 정말 아름다워요. 태양이 떠오르고 나서는 천천히 떨어져서 조금씩 사라져요. 그래서 태양이 막 떠오를 때가 가장 예뻐요. 우송은 꽤 까다로운 조건에서 생기기 때문에 이곳을 매일 찾는 중국 사람들도 보기 드문 광경이라고 한다. 여심을 사로잡는데도 이만한 보석은 없을 것이다.

China/Beijing (Summer Palace 2) Part 26
Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries.
See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
The Summer Palace (Chinese: 頤和園;), is a vast ensemble of lakes, gardens and palaces in Beijing, China. It serves as a popular tourist destination and recreational park. Mainly dominated by Longevity Hill (万寿山; 萬壽山; Wànshòu Shān) and Kunming Lake (昆明湖; Kūnmíng Hú), it covers an expanse of 2.9 square kilometres (1.1 sq mi), three-quarters of which is water.
Longevity Hill is about 60 metres (200 feet) high and has many buildings positioned in sequence. The front hill is rich with splendid halls and pavilions, while the back hill, in sharp contrast, is quiet with natural beauty. The central Kunming Lake, covering 2.2 square kilometres (540 acres), was entirely man-made and the excavated soil was used to build Longevity Hill.
In December 1998, UNESCO included the Summer Palace on its World Heritage List. It declared the Summer Palace a masterpiece of Chinese landscape garden design. The natural landscape of hills and open water is combined with artificial features such as pavilions, halls, palaces, temples and bridges to form a harmonious ensemble of outstanding aesthetic value.
The entire Summer Palace is centred around Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake, with the latter covering about three quarters of the area. Most of the important buildings were built along the north–south axis of Longevity Hill, which is divided into the front hill and the back hill. There are three small islands within Kunming Lake: Nanhu Island, Zaojiantang Island and Zhijingge Island. The West Dam of Kunming Lake divides the lake into two. The East Dam was constructed during the reign of the Guangxu Emperor. The attractions in the Summer Palace may be divided into six different sections or scenic areas: the Halls, Longevity Hill, Kunming Lake, the Farming and Weaving Picture Scenic Area, the Long Corridor, and the Central Axis area.Wikipedia

Kunming Lake Boat Trip at the Summer Palace / 昆明湖 (颐和园 / 頤和園)
Kunming Lake / 昆明湖 is the central lake on the grounds of the Summer Palace in Beijing, China. Together with the Longevity Hill, Kunming Lake forms the key landscape features of the Summer Palace gardens.
With an area of 2.2 square kilometres (0.8 sq mi), Kunming Lake covers approximately three quarters of the Summer Palace grounds. It is quite shallow, with an average depth of only 1.5 metres (5 ft).
Kunming Lake is a man-made lake. Its predecessors were called Wengshan (Jar Hill) Pond and Xihu Lake. They were reservoirs which had been used as sources of water both for the city and irrigation of fields over a period of 3,500 years. Guo Shoujing, a famous astronomer and engineer in his time, developed it into a reservoir for the capital of the Yuan Dynasty in 1291. The conversion of the area into an imperial garden was commissioned by the Qianlong Emperor with the work being carried out between 1750 and 1764. In the course of creating the gardens, the lake area was extended by a workforce of almost 10,000 laborers.
In the year 1990 and 1991, the Beijing Municipal Government undertook the first dredging of the lake in 240 years. A total of 652,600 cubic metres (853,600 cu yd) of sludge were removed in the work. 205 Japanese bombs dropped during the Sino-Japanese War were also found.
Kunming Lake is designed to represent the traditional Chinese gardening practice of one pond, three hills / 一池三山. Like the islands in Hangzhou's West Lake and the Forbidden City's Taiye Lake, they were intended to represent three islands of the immortals mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas: Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang. Kunming's three are named South Lake Island (t 南湖島, s 南湖岛), Round Fort Island (t 團城島, s 团城岛), and Algæ-view Hall Island (t 藻鑒堂島, s 藻鉴堂岛)
Many features of Kunming Lake are inspired by natural scenery from the region south of the Yangtze River. In particular, the West Dike is a recreation of the famous Sudi Dike on West Lake in Hangzhou. It cuts diagonally through the southern part of the lake. Like the Sudi Dike, the West Dike is connected through six bridges, each with its own distinctive style: Jiehu, Binfeng, Yudai, Jing, Lian, and Liu.
The largest bridge on Kunming Lake is the 17-Arch Bridge that connects the eastern shore with South Lake Island, representing Penglai. Close to the bridge on the eastern shore stands a bronze ox sculpture. According to Chinese legend, Yu the Great used an iron ox to prevent flooding. Since the bronze ox is located on the eastern dike of Kunming Lake in the direction of the Forbidden City, it was probably erected in order to protect the Forbidden City from flooding.
1920's film of China: crossing the lion bridge near the Summer Palace
American tourists in China in the late 1920's filmed this rare series of black and white videos to document their travels. Here they have left Beijing and are traveling through the countryside on their way to Yuanmingyuan, the Imperial Summer Palace (looted and left in ruins by French and English troops after the 2nd Opium War). They cross the famous 17 Arch Lion Bridge. The lions were symbolic of royalty.
