The landmark buildings of the Summer Palace mainly include: Foguang Pavilion, Paiyun Hall and Promenade. Foxiang Pavilion is the main building of the Summer Palace. It is built on a 20-meter-high square platform in front of Wanshou Mountain, facing Kunming Lake in the south and the sea of wisdom in the back. The buildings centered on it spread out neatly and symmetrically to the two wings, forming a trend of stars holding the moon, which is quite magnificent. The Buddha Pavilion is 4 1 m high with eight sides, three floors and four double eaves. There are eight huge iron sandalwood Optimus Prime in the pavilion, which is a masterpiece of classical architecture in China.

The Paiyun Hall of the Summer Palace, located in the middle of the southern foot of Wanshou Mountain, is the most important core landscape complex on the north-south axis of the Summer Palace. The word "Paiyun" is taken from Guo Pu's poem: "Fairy Paiyun Mountain, but see the platform of gold and silver". This group of buildings is the most spectacular building group in the Summer Palace.

The Summer Palace promenade is located between the southern foot of Wanshou Mountain and the northern shore of Kunming Lake. The promenade is famous for its exquisite architecture, twists and turns and colorful paintings. It is the longest corridor among ancient buildings and gardens in China. There are more than 65,438+04,000 colorful paintings painted on each beam in the corridor, which are bright and magnificent. Its length and colorful paintings were listed in the Guinness Book of World Records in 65,438+0990.

In the promenade of the Summer Palace, the colorful paintings are mostly landscapes, flowers and birds, and the plots in China's classical Four Great Classical Novels's Dream of Red Mansions, The Journey to the West and Water Margin. Painters condensed the history and culture of China for thousands of years in this corridor.
