If you take a boat tour of the lake, then although it is a distant view, but is facing the mountain, you can also listen to the explanation, understand the history.

Wanshou Mountain was made of earth mounds dug up Kunming Lake. On the north bank of Kunming Lake, it is full of pine and cypress, very lush, and it has the back river of Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace on the north side. This place has a winding path. If you have physical strength, Rent a small boat from the rice next to the dock can be directly driven, very wild, Wanshou Mountain is covered with various stone steps stone roads, there are also dirt roads stepped out by tourists, inadvertently can see the site of the platform pavilion that was not repaired at the time.

Wanshou Mountain is the Yumai of Yanshan, high 58.59 meters, altitude 108.94 meters, front of Kunming Lake. Qianlong for 15 years to celebrate the 60th birthday of the Queen Mother, built Dabao En Yanshou Temple on the former site of Yuanjing Temple. The next year, the mountain was renamed Wanshou Mountain. The earthworks that opened Kunming Lake were piled up on the mountain according to the original layout, so that the east and west slopes were soothed and symmetrical, and became the main body of the whole park. The building complex was built on the mountain, and the existing ones were rebuilt after the British and French coalition forces burned down. From the "Yunhui Yuyu" archway at the foot of the mountain, through the cloud gate, the second palace gate, the cloud hall, the Dehui hall, the Buddha Xiang Pavilion, to the wisdom sea of the top of the mountain, forming a central axis rising layer by layer. At first warm and cold season, come to the Summer Palace to walk, climb Wanshou Mountain, the sky is blue and blue, the sun is directly shooting from the bare branches, under the glazed tiles, directly stabbing people's eyes, feeling the spring footsteps closer and closer.

The Summer Palace is a royal landscape garden, where the water refers to Kunming Lake, and the mountain naturally refers to Wanshou Mountain. Wanshou Mountain is densely wooded and there are many temples. It can be said that the main tourist areas of the Summer Palace are basically in Wanshou Mountain. Under the clear sky, Wanshou Mountain and Foxiang Pavilion reflect in the blue Kunming Lake water, beautiful!

A century-old history to see Tianjin, a thousand-year-old history to see Beijing - summer, the 12th storm to Beijing the next day - Summer Palace - Wanshou Mountain 4 from the north gate to climb Wanshou Mountain, is the most relaxed. Soon after, it arrived at the "Sea of Wisdom", which is the commanding building of the Summer Palace, because it is completely made of masonry, no wood and no beams, and is also known as the "Bailless Palace". So it survived the fires lit by the powers. The thousands of glazed Buddhas embedded in the walls, although they have been through hardships, still shine, it seems to be telling us as its name "Wisdom Sea": Buddha's wisdom is like the sea, mana is boundless.
