Our guide will walk with you along the 728‑meter covered corridor, pointing out more than 14,000 traditional Chinese paintings on the beams – each telling a different myth, legend, or landscape – so you can enjoy an open‑air gallery while staying sheltered from sun or rain.

十七孔桥
Our guide will lead you across the longest bridge in the imperial garden, showing you the 500+ stone lions carved along its railings – each with a different expression – and, if you visit near the winter solstice, you’ll witness the famous “golden light through the arches” sunset phenomenon.
