Es una de las obras más destacadas del Palacio de Verano, es un pasillo techado de más de 750 metros de largo. La emperatriz ordenó construir este corredor para poder moverse por el Palacio sin preocuparse por las inclemencias del tiempo. El techo está decorado con más de 14.000 pinturas con escenas sobre la historia de China. Lo más llamativo es que en sus columnas hay alrededor de 8000 pinturas con escenas de paisajes tradicionales, batallas, pájaros y muestras de caligrafía china.

L'eau joue un rôle majeur au palais d'été, où tout est organisé autour du lac Kunming Hu qui occupe en fait la majeur partie du terrain. Tout autour du lac, les ponts permettent de joindre les sentiers, mais ils sont d'une forme très étonnante ! Alors que certains ressemblent à des pagodes suspendues au dessus du vide, on a été très impressionné par les ponts de pierre qui semblent s'élever à la verticale au dessus de l'eau... il est presque nécessaire de mettre les mains à terre pour les gravir !
Water plays a major role in the Summer Palace, where everything is organized around the lake Kunming Hu who actually occupies the major part of the land. Around the lake, bridges enable to reach the trails, but they are shaped very amazing! While some resemble suspended over the void pagodas, we were very impressed by the stone bridges that seem to rise vertically above the water ... it is almost necessary to put the hands on the ground for the climb!
