How to write an essay based on the Summer Palace

Visiting the Summer Palace

Today, the weather is exceptionally clear and cloudless. We set off early in the morning, and today we will visit the Summer Palace, the royal garden of the Qing Dynasty.

Walking into the gate, wow, there are so many people here, men, women, old and young, there is an endless flow. I followed the winding passage to a corner of the Summer Palace. There are very few tourists here, and it seems extremely quiet. In the distance, the continuous mountain peaks are reflected in the calm Kunming Lake, making it appear greener. At this time, a breeze blew, and the lake surface, which was as level as a mirror just now, immediately began to have ripples like fish scales, sparkling in the sunlight. After a while, the lake surface became calm again. The few lotus leaves on the lake are so green, adding a bit of beauty to Kunming Lake.

With a crisp cry of joy, a small boat emerged from under the Yudai Bridge in the distance and sailed slowly into the distance. This bridge was formerly known as "Dome Bridge" and is commonly known as Camelback Bridge. The single-hole clear span of Yudai Bridge is 11.38 meters, and the sag height is about 7.5 meters. The bridge body is made of white marble and blue and white stone. The bridge deck is a double reverse curve, forming a wavy line bridge type. It is equipped with refined white stone railings and railings. Birds and animals are engraved on the board, which is lifelike and looks particularly magnificent. On the bridge, two tourists were leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, talking happily about the beautiful scenery.

After coming down from the Yudai Bridge, we followed the winding stone path to the best place on the top of the mountain to enjoy the panoramic view of the Summer Palace - Zhichunting. Zhichunting is surrounded by lush willows and trees. Weird rockery. The pavilion has a towering hexagonal roof, and dragons and some monsters are carved on the walls. The golden glazed tiles shine golden in the sun. There are six large vermilion pillars inside the pavilion, and it takes two people to surround them. There are also exquisite pictures engraved on the beams, which is really a work of art. There is a round stone table in the middle of the pavilion, and two old men over fifty are playing chess. What they are playing is inseparable. It is true that "when you meet your opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent."

Standing by the pavilion, looking around, the mountains in the distance are undulating and the ancient pagodas are standing. Looking down at the Summer Palace. I can’t help but sigh: Aren’t the mountains, trees, and pavilions here all earned with the blood and sweat of the working people? Every plant and tree here is so beautiful... It's true: the boat is sailing on the blue waves, and the people are swimming in the painting.
