大家好!欢迎大家来到世界遗产之一的颐和园观光旅游。今天，我有幸陪同大家一起参观，很高兴，希望大家能渡过一段美好的时光。

首先，我给大家介绍一下颐和园的来历：颐和园是清朝帝王的行宫和花园，前身是清漪园。始建于1750年，面积290公顷，是乾隆皇帝为孝敬其母孝圣皇后而建的。它曾经数次遭到外国侵略者，军阀的破坏。直到建国后，才被国家列为第一批重点文物保护单位，经过不断修缮，于1998年11月被列入《世界遗产目录》。

现在，各位随我一起检票入园，请大家保持好秩序，不要走散哦!

大家看!这里就是有名的长廊，它有700多米长，被分为273间，是世界上最长的长廊，列入了“吉尼斯世界纪录”。每间的横槛上都有五彩的画，包括山水风景、花鸟鱼虫、人物典故等。你们说是不是很有特色呀?

快看，这座美丽的大山就是众所皆知的万寿山。许多亭台楼阁依山而建，形成一幅幅连续展开﹑如锦似绣的风景画卷。其中最着名的是那座八角宝塔形的三层建筑—佛香阁。它镶嵌在葱茏的苍松翠柏之中，在园中许多地方都能看到它那闪闪发光的黄色琉璃瓦顶。站在佛香阁上向下望，你们就能欣赏到颐和园的大半风景。这些掩映在树丛中黄色绿色的琉璃瓦顶和朱红的宫墙，是不是展现出了皇家园林的高贵气质呢?

山下那片静得像面镜子，绿得像块碧玉的湖泊就是占全园面积四分之三的昆明湖。湖周的堤岸上有多座不同式样的石桥，咱们马上要穿过的这座石桥，因为有十七个桥洞，所以被叫作十七孔桥。桥栏杆的石柱上雕刻着许多姿态不一﹑栩栩如生的小狮子，凝结了古代劳动人民的血汗和精湛技艺。

接下来，请诸位登岛自由观赏，希望你们举起照相机，把颐和园的美景拍下来，宣传给更多的人，同时请大家注意保持环境卫生。我的讲解到此为止，祝大家玩得愉快!

尊敬的游客，今天我们来到美丽的颐和园游玩，它是被列入《世界遗产名录》的皇家园林，希望大家不要破坏园林内的建筑。这次旅游由我来当导游。

你们现在漫步游览的颐和园其实是清乾隆年间被称为“清漪园”，清咸丰十年也就是1860年英、法联军侵入北京，抢劫园中珍宝，烧毁了大部分建筑物，使“清漪园”成为废墟。到光绪十四年也就是1888年，慈禧太后为了自己享乐，竟然挪用建海军的经费3000万白银，重建此园，并将园名改为颐和园。慈禧太后的目的是祈盼能养好自己的身体颐养天年。

今天的介绍到此结束，希望大家旅途愉快!

颐和园集传统造园艺术之大成，借景周围的山水环境，饱含中国皇家园林的恢弘富丽气势，又充满自然之趣，高度体现了 虽由人作，宛自天开 的造园准则。万寿山、昆明湖构成其基本框架，占地 2.97 平方公里，水面约占四分之三，园中有点景建筑物百余座、大小院落 20 余处， 3000 余间古建筑，面积 70000 多平方米，古树名木 1600 余株。其中佛香阁、长廊、石舫、苏州街、十七孔桥、谐趣园、大戏台等都已成为家喻户晓的代表性建筑。

园中主要景点大致分为三个区域：以庄重威严的仁寿殿为代表的政治活动区，是清朝末期慈禧与光绪从事内政、外交政治活动的主要场所。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。以长廊沿线、后山、西区组成的广大区域，是供帝后们澄怀散志、休闲娱乐的苑园游览区。万寿山南麓的中轴线上，金碧辉煌的佛香阁、排云殿建筑群起自湖岸边的云辉玉宇牌楼，经排云门、二宫门、排云殿、德辉殿、佛香阁，终至山颠的智慧海，重廊复殿，层叠上升，贯穿青琐，气势磅礴。巍峨高耸的佛香阁八面三层，踞山面湖，统领全园。蜿蜒曲折的西堤犹如一条翠绿的飘带，萦带南北，横绝天汉，堤上六桥，婀娜多姿，形态互异。烟波浩淼的昆明湖中，宏大的十七孔桥如长虹偃月倒映水面，涵虚堂、藻鉴堂、治镜阁三座岛屿鼎足而立，寓意着神话传说中的 海上仙山 。阅看耕织图画柔桑拂面，豳风如画，乾隆皇帝曾在此阅看耕织活画，极具水乡村野情趣。与前湖一水相通的苏州街，酒幌临风，店肆熙攘，仿佛置身于二百多年前的皇家买卖街，谐趣园则曲水复廊，足谐其趣。在昆明湖湖畔岸边，还有著名的石舫，惟妙惟肖的铜牛，赏春观景的知春亭等点景建筑。

多年以来，颐和园管理处以 文化建园 为宗旨，用 一种精神五种意识六个一流 的企业文化统领职工，深入挖掘文化内涵，大力推进颐和园的保护、管理和研究工作，以借景环境、山形水系、文物古建、植被景观为颐和园的核心保护内容，建立了完整的颐和园保护管理体系。特别是改革开放以来，颐和园加快了建设和保护的步伐，先后投入巨资恢复了四大部洲、苏州街、景明楼、澹宁堂、耕织图等景区，积极参与周边环境改造，延续颐和园的历史人文环境，恢复了文化遗产的完整性和原真性，建设了国内园林系统内最先进的文昌院博物馆。

各位游客大家好，今天就有我来带领大家共同游览颐和园。

请大家随着我走。现在，我手指的这个是着名的长廊。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。

各位游客大家好，欢迎你们到北京颐和园来游玩，我是颐和园旅游公司的导游，大家可以称我为“小廖”，非常荣幸能为大家提供服务，希望在我的陪伴下，能让您度过愉快的一天，也能让您真正感受到颐和园这座皇家园林的魅力。

颐和园位于北京西郊，原为封建帝王的行宫花园。

原来的名字叫好山园。清乾隆时改为清漪园。1860年被英法联军所毁。1888年慈禧太后挪用军费重建，改名颐和园。颐和园总面积290万平方米，拥有宫殿园林建筑3000余间，湖水面积约占四分之三。园中景象万千。5万寿山丛林葱郁，昆明湖碧水荡漾，构成一幅美丽的皇家园林画卷，是世界著名的旅游胜地。

我先带大家去长廊游玩。

进了颐和园的大门，绕过大殿，就来到有名的长廊。长廊长728米，分成273间。每一间的横槛上都有五彩的画，画着人物、动物、花草、风景，几千幅画没有哪两幅是相同的。长廊两旁栽满了花木，这一种花还没谢，那一种花又开了。其中人物故事画最引人注目。那就请游客们细细观赏吧!

穿过长廊，就来到万寿山脚下，万寿山地处颐和园的中心部位。南临昆明湖。山上建有佛香阁、排云殿等，山上树木葱浓，宫殿金碧辉煌，是宫庭功能、宗教功能、园林功能的集中体现。这里建筑宏伟，风景秀丽，充分展示了皇宫御苑的皇家气派。各位游客不妨亲自登山，既锻炼了身体，又能沿途欣赏好风景。

接下来我向大家介绍昆明湖。昆明湖面积约200多万平方米。湖边围着长长的堤岸，湖沿有石舫，湖上有好几座式样不同的石桥，其中十七孔桥最引人注目，桥上有上百根石柱，石柱上都刻着各种各样、天然成趣的数百只狮子，它们率真大胆，美不胜收，有的正在绣球上灵巧地做着各种优美的动作，有的几只狮宝宝嬉戏在狮妈妈周围，欢蹦乱跳，尽情玩耍，狮妈妈慈爱地抚摸着小宝宝，眼里流露出欢欣的喜悦，金色的阳光洒在这些狮子们身上，像给予它们一种生命力，传续着人间动人的故事。走在桥上，可以看到湖岸柳树成行，湖光山色，风景迷人，是颐和园最有名的景点。走过十七孔桥，就可以观赏湖中小岛上的绚丽风景，那里别有一番情趣。

颐和园的美景真是说也说不尽，道也道不完，用“举世无双，独一无二”来形容她一点也不过分，她就像一颗璀璨的明珠，她的大气，她的精致，她浓郁的人文底蕴深深地吸引着中外游客。小廖我真诚地希望您能在这得到美的享受，祝您玩得开心，游得尽兴。

各位游客朋友，大家好!欢迎大家来到颐和园参观游览。我是此次颐和园之行的导游员小赵，我很荣幸陪同大家一起参观游览，下面将由我来为大家讲解颐和园。

我们现在正在去往颐和园的路上，利用这一段时间，我向大家简短的介绍一下颐和园的历史以及现在的状况。

最早在辽金时代的时候，皇帝就已经开始在北京修建皇家园林了。当时在今天的万寿山昆明湖一带修建了金山行宫，将这里称为金山、金山泊。到了元朝，有将这改名为翁山、翁山泊。而明代初期则改称西湖并修建了园静寺，命名为好山园。到了万历是十六年，也就是1588 年，这里已经具有一定的园林规模，享有“十里山行画里，双飞白鸟似江南”的称誉。然而让这里真正成为一处皇家园林的是清代。在康熙年间就曾在此修建行宫，到了乾隆十四年到二十九年，也就是1749-1764 年，就在原来的基础上修建了清漪园，扩湖，推山，将湖称为昆明湖，山叫做万寿山。而且这里还成了著名的三山五园之一。和我国古代的大多数皇家建筑一样，这里也没能躲过入侵者的践踏，在1860 年这里被英法联军抢掠并且烧毁了。过了一些年，慈禧太后挪用了海军经费对这里进行了重建，而且光绪皇帝下昭将这里改名为颐和园。可是在1900 年的时候，颐和园又再次遭到了八国联军的严重破坏。从此之后对这里所进行的重修，因为财力不足，所以后山部分长期都没有修复。到了1912 年，依照清室的优待条件，颐和园仍然掌握在逊帝溥仪手中。过了两年，这里曾作为他的私人财产一度开放，但是因为交通不便票价昂贵等原因，没什么人来。在1924 年溥仪被逐出颐和园后，北洋政府将这里正式改为对外开放的公园。1948 年12 月，人民政府接受这里后，经过综合治理，仍然保持着其皇家园林的风貌。而且这里还成为了世界上造景丰富、建筑集中、保存最完整的皇家园林。

我们即将所看到的颐和园共占地290 公顷，其中陆地四分之一，水面达到了四分之三。根据皇家园林建园的用途和特点，可将颐和园景区分为政治活动区，帝后生活区和风景游览区三个部分。

我们面前这座雄伟的建筑就是仁寿殿。其实在乾隆年间的时候，规定凡是当朝的大殿就要叫做“勤政殿”，意思是游园不要忘了勤理政务。到了颐和园的时候，便将这里改为仁寿殿，取自孔子论语中的“仁者寿”，意思是施仁政的人可以长寿。现在，仁寿殿的陈设和原状是基本一致的。殿内的地平床上有九龙宝座。它后面还设有紫檀木九龙屏风，屏风以紫檀木为框架，雕有九条闹龙，中心是玻璃镜，镜面上写有226 个不同写法的寿字。在宝座四周，还设有掌扇，角端等。其中角端是传说中异兽，实际用处其实就是香炉。而殿内两侧的暖阁，是慈禧光绪还有王宫大臣休息的地方，当中有一幅百蝠图的缂丝工艺品，中间还有一个慈禧亲笔写的寿字，因为蝠与福同音，所以这幅工艺品也被称为百福捧寿。这个玻璃风景台屏是用翠鸟的羽毛粘制而成的，大家可以看到，这个乾隆年间的作品虽然历经二百多年可是还是色彩依旧。

接着往前走，我们就来到了乐寿堂。乐寿是出自《论语》中“智者乐，仁者寿”，意思是说，这里就是仁者智者居住的地方。乐寿堂是生活区里的主要建筑，在乾隆年间，这里是乾隆母亲纽钴禄氏居住在这里，光绪年间，慈禧太后就住在这里。通过了水木自亲，也就是乐寿堂的正门，我们也就进入了庭院。可以看到在庭院中陈设了很多的东西。铜鹿、铜鹤、铜花瓶，分别借鹿、鹤、瓶的谐音，取意“六合太平”，意思是天下太平。园内还种植有玉兰、海棠、牡丹，取意“玉堂富贵”。中间的这块太湖石，因为形状像灵芝，所以叫做“青芝岫”。其实它还有个名字叫做败家石，这是因为在明朝有个人非常喜欢石头的人叫米万钟，在房山看中了这块石头，要将它放入海淀的勺园当中，可是在因为种.种不利因素，推托说耗尽财力，将它丢在了路边，后来，乾隆皇帝在从清西陵返回京城的途中看到了这块石头，所以将它运到乐寿堂。在乐寿堂殿内有以玻璃镜子为中心的紫檀木屏风，上边还镶嵌有贝雕饰物。镏金九桃大熏炉是用来焚烧檀香的，起到调节室内空气的作用。桌子上的两个青花大瓷盘是清代青花瓷的代表作，用来盛放水果供慈禧观赏和闻香气。在殿内东西两侧还有百鸟朝凤，孔雀开屏两副坐屏，都是粤绣精品。殿顶悬挂的五彩玻璃吊灯，是1903 年从德国进口的，它是我国早期的电灯之一，发电机安装在文昌阁附近。在慈禧太后吃点心和品茶的时候，还可以观赏鱼桌，它是以金星紫檀木坐框架，镶有玻璃台面，桌子里边还镶嵌着用珍贵材料镂空雕琢的山水人物和亭台楼阁，密封性良好，可以养金鱼。殿内“慈晖懿祉”的匾额意思是：受母后之深恩，托母后之洪福。

从这里出来，我们就走上了连接万寿山与昆明湖的长廊。它东起邀月门，西止石丈亭，全长728米，共273 间。由于长廊的地基是随着万寿山地势高低而起伏的，所以廊身的走向是以昆明湖北岸的弯曲而变化的，在地势高低和变向的连接点上，还建有四个亭子代表春夏秋冬，分别是留佳寄澜秋水和清遥，设计十分的巧妙。长廊是我国园林中最长的游廊，也有画廊之称。这是因为在廊中共有苏式彩绘1.4 万多幅，而且很少重复。其中有关于西湖风光的546 幅，是乾隆十五年建造长廊时，命人到杭州临摹回来画上的。人物画多采用了我国古典文学名著，比如《西游记》、《三国演义》、《红楼梦》等等，所设计的内容时间跨度非常大，从三皇五帝到清朝，上下五千年，可以说的上是我国文化史的一个缩影，在1900 年的时候，这里被《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》评为全球画廊之冠。

关于颐和园的介绍就为大家讲到这里，现在大家可以自由参观一下，按照计划的时间回到这里，祝大家玩得愉快。

尊敬的游客们：

你们好!我叫许诚，是你们导游，大家可以叫我许导，也可以叫我小许。我们即将游览的是颐和园。

颐和园是清代皇家园林，是我国重点文物单位，已被列入《世界遗产名录》。

颐和园位于北京的西北郊，其前身清漪园始建于1750年，1764年建成，1860年被英法联军焚毁。1886年，慈禧太后挪有海军经费和其他款项重建，并与1888年改为颐和园。1920xx年，颐和园又遭八国联军严重破坏，1920xx年再次修复。好了，咱们现在开始游览吧。

我们首先要来到最有名的长廊。大家看，绿漆的柱子，红漆的栏杆，多美呀!这条长廊有700多米，分为273间，每件横槛上都有画。你们相信吗?上千幅的画没有哪两幅是相同的

现在我们在万寿山脚下，抬头仰望，那座八角宝塔形的建筑，就是佛香阁。下面一排排金碧辉煌的宫殿，就是排云殿。上万寿山吧!

现在我们已经登上了万寿山，是欣赏颐和园全景的最佳位置。正前面就是昆明湖，有人常说它像一面镜子，像一块碧玉。不知你们是否有同感。下面就去昆明湖吧。

看，昆明湖多大，但堤岸更长。看见那/个小岛了吗/?我们走过长长的石桥就可以到到上玩。请大家仔细数数这座桥的桥洞，一共有十七个桥洞所以叫十七孔桥。桥柱上的石狮子姿态不一，没有哪两只是相同的。

另外，还有月波楼，石舫等。我说也说不仅，请你们自己慢慢游赏吧!

话说北京城西北郊有一座小山，山前有一片天然形成的湖泊。小山和小湖本来没有名字，因辽金时期在这一带建有金山行宫，于是小山和小湖被称为“金山”和“金海”。到了元代，传说有一位老人在山下挖出了一个石瓮，所以小山和小湖改成“瓮山”和“瓮山泊”。瓮山泊在元大都之西，且景色妖娆，于是在文人笔下又衍生出了“西湖”的美称。在明朝时已经出现了“西湖十景”的自然景观和“西湖十寺”的人文景观。到了清朝，乾隆皇帝对西湖进行了大规模的扩建，并改其名为“昆明湖”，把挖湖的泥土堆积在瓮山需要修饰的地方，并改其名为“万寿山”，用15年的时间把这里修建成了一座大型皇家园林，取名为“清漪园”。

咸丰年间，英法联军占领北京，将清漪园烧毁。光绪年间，重建清漪园，并改名为“颐和园”。八国联军占领北京后，颐和园再次被毁。慈禧回京后，再次用巨款修复，但由于财力有限，只修复了部分景观。直到新中国成立后，政府出巨资对颐和园进行了多次整修，才基本上还原了清漪园时期的风貌。1998年，颐和园被列入《世界遗产名录》。

颐和园是我国皇家园林的典范,其原名为清漪园,始建于清乾隆年间,占地290公顷,其中陆地面积约占1/4,湖水面积约占3/4,按其功能可分为宫廷区和园林区,宫廷区又分为政治活动区和帝后生活区,园林区主要由万寿山景区和昆明湖景区组成。

东宫门是颐和园的正门，坐西朝东，面阔五间，中间设三个门。正门匾额上“颐和园”三个字为光绪御笔。“颐和”是颐养精神、心平气和的意思，寓意颐和园是慈禧太后养老的地方。门外台阶正中镶嵌着一块雕刻精美的云龙石，俗称“龙垫儿”，是从圆明园移至此处的。东宫门前是涵虚罨秀牌楼。涵虚罨秀牌楼为三间四柱七楼式，牌楼中间镶嵌着一块石匾额，东题“涵虚”，喻山水广阔;西题“罨秀”，喻捕捉秀色;两处均是乾隆御笔。东宫门外南北两侧各有一排小房子，这里是大臣们等候上朝或召见时休息的地方，也是侍卫和銮仪卫的值房。东宫门内南北两侧也各有一排小房子，这里是军机处、六部、九卿等候圣旨和处理日常事务的值房。

进入东宫门向西而行，就来到了仁寿门。仁寿门前有两块装饰性青石，门内有一块巨大的太湖石。这块石头是从墨尔根园移来的，此石色青圆润，形如寿星，所以叫做“寿星石”。进入仁寿门就来到了仁寿殿院落。在院落的四角，有四块小的太湖石，象征一年四季，称“四季石”，是从圆明园移来的。这四块太湖石加上寿星石合称“峰虚五老”，象征庐山五老峰，寓意长寿。在院落中央，有一只铜麒麟。麒麟是我国古代传说中的吉祥神兽，有避邪和分辨善恶的本领。它的造型十分奇特，为龙头、鹿角、牛蹄、狮尾，故又俗称“四不像”。这只麒麟原置于长春园内，原为一对，一只被英法联军掠走，至今下落不明。

在仁寿殿的北侧，有一口水井，是帝后茶膳的专用水源。据说慈禧太后有一次在园中中暑，喝此井水祛暑，故赐名“延年井”。“延年井”三个字是当代书法家王遐举写的。

仁寿殿前陈列着光绪年间制造的铜缸、铜龙、铜凤各两只，上面均有“天地一家春”的印记。“天地一家亲”原是慈禧太后在圆明园中居住的地方，在她垂帘听政以后铸造的陈设上都有铸“天地一家春”的字样。铜龙、铜凤的排列顺序是凤居中，龙在两侧。这是在那一历史时期特有的产物，体现出在光绪时期，慈禧太后的实际地位要高于皇帝。

仁寿殿匾额为满汉两种文字，乾隆年间规定：凡是御苑中当朝的正殿都叫勤政殿，这里是政治活动区的主要场所，所以初名“勤政殿”，表示帝王在游幸的同时不忘勤于政务。光绪年间改名“仁寿殿”。“仁寿”二字出自《论语》中“智者乐，仁者寿”，表示施行仁政者能够长寿。慈禧和光绪曾多次在这里听政和接见外国使臣。

在仁寿殿内有紫檀木玻璃屏风。屏风顶部雕有九条龙，屏心为玻璃镜，镜面上装饰有226个不同写法的“寿”字，是专为慈禧太后定制的寿礼。百蝠捧寿图。百蝠捧寿为缂丝工艺品。

“寿”字写在蝙蝠和彩云中，为慈禧太后所书;“蝠”与“福”同音，借音取义，意为多福多寿。点翠插屏。点翠插屏为乾隆年间制作的玻璃风景台屏，屏内描绘的洞庭湖胜景是用翠鸟羽毛粘制而成的。虽然已经历经200多年，天然羽毛的颜色却依然非常鲜艳。珐琅甪端。甪端是古代传说中的神兽，能日行一万八千里，并通晓各国语言。置于皇帝宝座旁，象征八方来朝。它的实际用途是香炉。

德和园大戏楼位于仁寿殿西北，建于光绪年间。“德和”二字出自《左传》“君子听之以平其心，心平德和。”意思是君子听了美好的音乐，就会心平气和，从而达到道德高尚的境界。德和园大戏楼是清代三大戏楼之一，另外两座分别是故宫的畅音阁和承德避暑山庄的清音阁，在这三座戏楼中，德和园大戏楼是最大的。清末许多著名京剧演员都曾经在此为慈禧太后演出过。戏楼共3层，自上而下依次是福、禄、寿三台，上有天井，下有地井，供演员演戏之用。此外，还有扮戏楼供演员换装，准备道具。现在扮戏楼被辟为展室，用来展示戏装及慈禧生前享用过的汽车、钢琴等。

颐乐殿位于大戏楼北侧，是慈禧看戏的地方。颐乐殿东西两侧有看戏廊，是王公大臣及命妇们陪慈禧看戏的地方。

从仁寿殿外南侧继续西行，视线会被两个小土丘挡住，给人以“山重水复疑无路”的感觉。但是一走出曲径，美丽的湖光山色突然呈现在眼前，让人在不经意间感到“柳暗花明又一村”的意境。两个小土丘起到了欲扬先抑的作用，这种造园手法叫做“抑景”。

下面我带大家去帝后生活区参观。

从昆明湖东岸边向北行，就来到了玉澜堂。“玉澜”二字出自晋代诗人陆机的诗句“芳兰振蕙叶，玉泉涌微澜”，意思是湖水清澈潋滟。玉澜堂是光绪皇帝来颐和园是居住和日常处理政务的地方。其东暖阁是早餐室，西暖阁是寝室，东耳房是书房，西耳房是洗手间、浴室、更衣室。在明间，宝座后有一围屏，屏面由两层玻璃合成，玻璃上绘有中西合璧式的山水画，由于画在两层玻璃上，所以观赏时立体感极强。在宝座上方有一块“复殿留景”匾，“复殿”是深宫的意思，“景”是指景星，按我国古代星象学的说法，出现景星，象征帝王英明。所以“复殿留景”的意思是，深宫中住着圣明的君主。西暖阁是光绪的寝室，在床罩的上方悬挂着一块长方形的匾额，上书“风篁成韵”。“风篁成韵”是由成语“松篁成韵”演化而来的，愿意是松树和竹子在风的吹动下发出有韵律的声音。把“松”字改为“风”后，就谐音成“凤凰成孕”，寓意帝后早生子嗣。

霞芬室和藕香榭分别是玉澜堂的东、西配殿，均为穿堂结构。光绪皇帝住在园内时，每天早晨在霞芬室等候上朝，仁寿殿内一切准备好后，便穿堂直接走到仁寿殿。去向慈禧太后请安时，便从藕香榭穿过“水木自亲”，到乐寿堂行礼问安。“戊戌变法”失败后，慈禧太后命人在玉澜堂院落的前后左右砌了多道砖墙，将玉澜堂完全封闭起来，以囚禁光绪皇帝。如今砖墙大多都已拆除，但霞芬室和藕香榭内的砖墙还保持原样，作为与“戊戌变法”相关的遗迹供游人参观。

夕佳楼位于玉澜堂和宜芸馆之间，取意于晋代文学家陶渊明《饮酒》中“山气日夕佳，飞鸟相与还”，楼上是观赏日落的好地方。

宜芸馆位于玉澜堂北面。“宜”是适宜，“芸”是一种香草，古人常用于书房内驱虫防蛀。“宜芸”就是适宜藏书的意思。宜芸馆在清漪园时期是乾隆皇帝藏书的地方，光绪时期，正殿改为隆裕皇后的寝宫，西配殿改为珍妃的住所。宜芸馆南侧墙壁上共有10块乾隆皇帝临摹古代著名书法家的书法石刻。

宜芸馆向西而行就来到了乐寿堂。“乐寿”二字出自《论语》中“智者乐，仁者寿”。意为这里是智者仁者所居之所。乐寿堂是慈禧太后日常起居的地方，慈禧太后在这里居住并在这里接见王公大臣、外国使节等。殿内有两只青花大瓷盘，是用来盛水果供太后闻香气的;五彩吊灯是1903年从德国引进的;鱼桌用金星紫檀木做框架，镶以玻璃桌面，桌内不仅有用象牙、鸡翅木雕镂的山水人物、亭台楼阁，而且制作严密，能储水养鱼。慈禧太后可以一边喝茶吃点心，一边观赏金鱼。殿内悬挂“慈晖懿祉”匾，“慈”指母亲，“晖”指阳光，“懿”指德行美好，“祉”指福禄。匾的含义是受母后之深恩、托母后之洪福。

殿外庭院内设铜鹿、铜鹤、铜瓶。借“鹿”、“鹤”、“瓶”的音，取意“六合太平”，即天下太平之意。“六合”为上、下、东、南、西、北6个方位。庭院内种植玉兰、海棠、牡丹，借“玉”和“棠”的音，牡丹象征富贵的意思，取意“玉堂富贵”。

另外，庭院内有一巨石，它是明万历年间一位爱石成癖的太仆米万钟在房山大石窝发现的，他想把巨石放置在私宅勺园中。后因种.种原因，托言力竭财尽，不得已将此石弃置在路旁，故有“败家石”之称。百余年后，乾隆皇帝乾隆皇帝去西陵扫墓，路见此石，便命人将它运到乐寿堂做照壁。据说因水木自亲殿门太窄，当时是破门而入。此石因形似灵芝，色青而润，乾隆赐名“青芝岫”。

水木自亲是前后穿堂的大殿，乐寿堂院落的前院门，南面临湖。慈禧太后从水路来颐和园时，就在水木自亲殿外的码头上岸，进入乐寿堂。码头上有个探海灯杆，又称水月灯杆，当年上面挂一盏大灯笼，是慈禧太后驻园时的信号。

永寿斋位于乐寿堂的东跨院，是总管太监李莲英居住的地方。依清代祖制，太监最高不过四品，而李莲英因深受慈禧太后信任，最后竟官居二品。此院落现在举办中国太监制度展览。

扬仁风位于乐寿堂的西跨院。扬仁风外形像一把打开的折扇，它里面的宝座、宫灯、香几等也都是扇形式样，故此殿又名“扇面殿”。

“扬仁风”的典故出自《晋书袁宏传》里谢安赠扇的故事：东晋时期的谢安和袁宏是一对挚友，后谢安出任扬州刺史，袁宏出任东阳郡守。两人走马上任告别时，谢安取出一把折扇赠与袁宏，袁宏答谢说：“辄当奉扬仁风，慰彼梨庶”，意思是我一定奉扬仁义道德之风，安抚黎明百姓。

慈禧太后居住颐和园时，常在此院落赏鸟。

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. on the marble terrace sits a bronze mythical beast, known as qilin or xuanni . it was said to the one of the nine sons of dragon king. a point of peculiar interest is that it has the head of a dragon, antlers of a deer, the tail of a lion and hooves of a ox, and is covered with a unique skin. it was considered an auspicious creature that brought peace and prosperity. this grand hall is the hall of benevolence and longevity. it was built in 1750 , and was known as the hall of industrious government. emperor qianlong ruled that the halls where monarchs attended to state affairs would be named after them . after the rebuilding of the summer palace, the hall was renamed, suggesting that benevolent rulers would enjoy long lives. the arrangement of the hall has been left untouched. in the middle of the hall stands a throne made of sandalwood and carved with beautiful designs. in the background there is a screen carved with nine frolicking dragons. on either side of the throne there are two big fans made of peacock feathers, two column-shaped incense burners, crane-shaped lanterns and an incense burner assuming the form of luduan, a mythological animal which was suppose to have the power to prevent fire. the small chambers on eight side were where the emperor qianlong and empress dowager cixi rested and met officials on formal occasions. on the verandah in the foreground of the hall there are bronze statues of dragon and phoenixes which served as incense burners on major occasions. they are hollow and smoke comes through holes on their backs. also on the veranda are tai ping (peace) bronze water vats made during the reign of emperor qianlong. as a precaution in case of fire, a fire was lit underneath the vats in the winter to keep the water in them from freezing.

(in the hall of happiness and longevity)

the aged empress dowager cixi was so fond of the summer palace that she decided to live here from april through october of every year. this group of buildings served as her residence. this group of courtyard dwellings consists of a forecourt and a backyard with annex courts on each side .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. no wonder one of empress dowager cixi` s pleasure boat. on the pier there is a tall lantern post. flanking the staircase leading to the main entrance of the hall, there are bronze cranes, deer and vases, symbolizing universal peace. the interior layout is the same as the imperial court, with throne, a large table and incense burners placed in the middle. at mealtime, eunuchs-in –waiting would make a gigantic table out of this table and empress dowager cixi would dine on 128 courses. because of this more than 1,800 tales of silver would be spent each month on meals. on the east side of the living room is the cloak room. the bedroom in on its west. in front of the yaoyue (inviting the moon ) gate of the long corridor the famed long corridor is ahead. facing kunming lake and in the foreground of longevity hill, the long corridor stretches from yaoyue (inviting the moon ) gate to shizhang (stony old man) pavilion. it is 728 meters in length and consist of 273 sections and connects four octagonal pavilions. in 1990 ,it was listed in guinness book of world records.

(strolling along the long corridor)

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 (beauty-retaining pavilion, enjoy-the ripples pavilion, autumn water pavilion and clarity distance pavilion) were placed at bends and undulation. thus sightseers 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 creat a unified complex. this corridor can also be called a corridor of paintings ”: there are more than 14,000 paintings on its beams. some of them are of birds, flowers and landscapes of the west lake in hangzhou, zhejian province. others present scenes from literary classics. the majority of the landscape painting were done under the order of emperor qianlong, who preperred the scenery of south china.

(by the door leading to the exhibition of cultural relics)

this group of temple-shaped structures are known as qinghua (clarified china) hall ,also known as arhat hall during the reign of emperor qianlong. the original hall burned down in 1860. after it was reconstructed, it was renamed. qinghua hall is now used as a exhibition hall displaying rare cultural relics collected in the summer palace. the hall consists of 6 exhibition rooms with tens of thousands of articles of treasure on display in turn. among the exhibits there are bronze ware, porcelain, jade assemblages from the ming and qing dynasties, and rare and paintings. there is also a gigantic stone slab, which is more than 3 meters in height and width. it bears the handwritten inscriptions of emperor qianlong is commemoration of the suppression of a rebellion in the xinjiang region. only this slab survived when the angle-french allied forces set fire to the summer palace.

(in front of the gate of dispelling clouds)

(inside the hall of dispelling clouds)

the original buildings on this site were burned down by the anglo-french allied forces in 1860. a new set of structures was built during the reign of emperor guanxu, and was called the hall of dispelling clouds, suggesting that it was a fairyland. the hall was built on a high terrace, and has 21 room. inside the hall are a throne, screens, tripods and mandarin fans. on a platform you will see bronze dragons, phoenixes and tripods. at the foot of the platform there are four bronze water vats, the ancient form of fire extinguishers. the 10th day of lunar october was ,empress dowager cixi` s birthday. on that day ,she sat on the throne here to receive congratulations and gifts. now we are going to pay a visit to the highlight of the summer palace- the tower of buddhist incense. what we are now standing on is a stone terrace which is 20 meters in height. it has a semi housed stairway of 100 steps, you will live for 100 years. so, let` s go !

(in the front of the tower of buddhist incense)

an octagonal structure with three storeys and quadruple eaves, the tower of buddhist incense is the very center of the summer palace, and is one of the masterpieces of ancient chinese architecture. the tower is 41 meters in height, and is buttressed by 8 solid pillars made of lignumvitae logs. with its complex structure, ingenious layout, towering terrace and convincing grandeur, the tower of buddhist incense was artfully set out by the imperial gardens and beautiful scenery surrounding it .the tower overlooks kunming lake and other picturesque spots within an area of tens of kilometers .on the west side of the tower stands baoyunge (precious cloud pavilion). it is made of bronze and is7.5 meters in height and 270 tons in weight. it resembles its wooden counterparts in every detail. it is one of the largest and most exquisite bronze pavilions still on existence in china. lamas prayed here during the reign of emperor qianlong in honor of the monarchs and their families. at the turn of the century 10 bronze windows were spirited abroad. in 1992 an american company bought the windows and returned them intact to china.

(on a hilltop leading from the back door of tower of buddhist incense)

now we can see the long and snaking western causeway and a shorter dike that divides kunming lake into three areas that contain south lake island, seaweed-viewing island and circle city island. the three island represent three mountain in ancient chinese mythology, i. e. penglai, fangzhang and yingzhou. this peculiar method of incorporating a lake a three mountains within a single garden was a brainchild of emperor wudi of the han dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, bearing testimony to feudal monarchs` s longing for longevity. as the legend goes many heavenly elixirs grew on the three mythical islands. using artificial building techniques, the ancient chinese built this masterpiece based on the myth to make the mythical on appear to be accessible to humans.

(inside the garden of harmonious interest)

setting a garden within a larger garden has been one of china traditional architectural styles. the garden of harmonious interest serves as a fine example of this. this garden was built under the order of emperor qianlong and modeled after the jichang garden (garden of ease of mind )at the foot of mount huishan, jiansu province. it was renamed by his son emperor jiaqing in 1811. the existing garden was rebuilt by emperor or guangxu. empress dowager cixi used to go fishing here. the garden features 10 waterfront platforms, pavilions and halls as well as hundreds of galleries with all of its structures facing the lake and pools, the garden of harmonious interest is basically a garden of waterscape. spanning the vast expanse of the lake and pools are five bridges, each quite different from the others. the most famous of them is the bridge known as knowing –the fishing-bridge.” it is said that more than 2,500 years ago during the warring states period, two philosophere named zhuang zi had an interesting argument by the side of a pond. zhang said, ”fish swim to and fro in the water. what happy fish!” hui asked , ”you are not a fish. how do you know they are happy? ” zhuang replied, you are not me .how do you know i don’t know? ” hui signed, i am not you ,therefore, i don’t know you . and you are not a fish ,so how do you know that fish are happy? ” zhang said, you ask me how i know fish are happy, why do you keeping me the same question?” although the garden of harmonious interest was designed after jichang garden, it not only absorbed the original designs, but exceeded it .

(outside the south entrance to suzhou shopping street)

now lets have a look at longevity hill. on the back slope of the hill stands a group of architectures. the centerpiece of structures there are known as the four continents and are dedicated to buddhism. this group was laid out and arranged in accordance with buddhist cosmology. aside from a main shrine and structures embodying the four continents, there are eight towers representing minor continents. the shrine is surrounded by four lamaist pagodas and between the major and minor continents, there two platforms representing the sun and the moon. the qing authority attached great importance to buddhism. to further strengthen ties with the ethnic minorities who practiced buddhism, the monarchs incorporated both han and tibetan styles of architecture into this group of temples. further north at the foot of the four major continent lies the suzhou shopping street. built along the back lake of the summer palace, this street stretches about 300 meters and features more than 60 stores. it includes restaurants, teahouses, pawnshops banks, drugstores dye houses and publishing houses. in order to recreate the atmosphere of ancient times, visitors will have the chance to exchange their money to ancient style chinese coins for use here. storefronts are trimmed with traditional signboards and ornaments. the commercial culture of the mid-18th century has thus been recreated.

(atop the stone bridge inside the suzhou shopping street)

visitors may be surprise to see that this shopping street is almost the same as that in south china. as a matter of fact, this street was designed after the shops along the canals in suhzhou. originally known as emperor` s shopping street, it was built during the reign of emperor qianlong. after making several inspection tours to south china and being duly impressed by its commercial prosperity, emperor qianlong ordered the construction of this street. the imperial shopping street was burnt down by anglo-french allied forces in 1860. the site remained desolated until 1987, when reconstruction began. it was opened to the public in september 1990. with commercial culture as its hallmark, the suzhou shopping street is a vivid representation of china` s traditional cultures.

(on the road from the south fate of the suzhou shopping street to the marble boat)

this is the hall of pines. from it to the west we can walk to the marble boat. the path we aree taking stretches between longevity hill and back lake. monarchs and their cohorts used to stroll along it .hence it was named central imperial path. along this path you will see lilacs all around. hence, this road is also known as the path of lilac.

(in front of the ruins of the garden of complete spring)

quite a few unique structures were burnt down during the reign of emperor qianlong, among which the garden of complete spring was one of the most famous. the ruined and desolate courtyard by the roadside was its original site, it remains to be restored. this group of structures cover an area of 4,000 square meters and features a number of halls built on three different levels. all of the structures were connected with galleries and stone staircases. with its natural and ingenious combination of pavilions, a hall, galleries and rooms, the garden of complete spring serves as a fine model for other gardens. emperor qianlong frequently visited this compound.

(along the lakeside by the marble boat)

now we have returned from the back of longevity hill to the front. there is the famous marble boat. this structure is 36 meters in length and its body was made of marble. on top of it is a two storeyed structure. the floor was paved with colored bricks. all of the windows are inlaid with multi-colored glass and the ceiling was decorated with carved bricks. the drainage system channels rain water down through four hollow concrete pillars and into the lake through the mouth of dragon heads. according to a book written by emperor qianlong, the boat was used for enjoying the scenery and was supposed to be symbolic of the stability of the qing dynasty. halfway up the slope there stands the hall for listening to orioles . the ancient chinese liken the warble of an oriole to beautiful songs and melodies, hence the name of the hall which used to be a theater. now the hall is one of the most famous restaurants in china, featuring imperial dishes and desserts. it is a must for many foreign visitors to have lunch here when then come to beijing. more than one hundred heads of state worldwide have dined here and the late premier zhou enlai has held banquets here in honor of state guests. (sightseers who want to try the restaurant can go boating after they eat. those who do not can go abroad right away. those who do not feel like taking the boat can stoll along the long corridor to the outside of the east gate). (boating on kunmin lake) we are now going to enjoy the lakeside scenery from a pleasure boat. as a main part of the summer palace, kunming lake covers an area of 220 hectares, or three fourths of the combined space of this summer resort. this natural lake is more than 3500 years old. this lake was originally called wengshan lake. in 1749 emperor qianlong ordered the construction of qingyi garden, the predecessor of the summer palace. involving nearly 10,000 laborers, the lake was expanded and turned into a peach-shaped reservoir, the first of its kind for beijing. from 1990 to 1991, the beijing municipal government ordered the first dredging of the lake in 240 years .involving 200,000 men and hundreds of dredgers and other tools, a total of 625,600 cubic meters of sludge was dredged and 205 bombs dropped by the japanese during the anti-japanese war were removed. the summer palace set a precedent for sightseeing by boat. there used to be a large imperial flotilla, of which the kunming merry dragon” was the most famous. it was destroyed by the anglo-french allied forces in 1860. to make the tour of the summer palace a more pleasant one, a large pleasure boat tai he ” (supreme harmony )was built. this double –decked boat is 37.09 meters long,8,59 meters wide and 10.49 meters high. it can travel at a speed of 9 kilometer per hour. small pleasure boats are also available to tourist. another major spot of interest on the western causeway is jingming (bright view ) hall. both its front and rear face the lake. this structure also features three two- storeyed halls of varying heights. our tour is drawing to a close as we approach the shore. today we only visited the major scenic areas of the summer palace. i have left other spot of interest for your next visit. i will show you out through the east gate. i hope you enjoyed today` s tour. thank you .good-bye and good luck.
