云門、排云股、德輝殿、佛香閣、智慧海等一組建筑，依山而立，步步高升，氣派宏偉。沿昆明湖北岸橫向而建的長廊，長728米，共273間，像一條彩帶橫跨于萬壽山前，連結(jié)著東面前山建筑群。位于頤和園東北角，萬壽山東麓的諧趣園，具有濃重的江南園林特色，被譽為 “園中之園”。在廣闊的湖面上，有三個小島點綴，其主要景物是西堤、西堤六橋、東堤、南湖島、十七孔橋等。后山后湖，林茂竹青，景色幽雅，到處是松林曲徑，小橋流水，風(fēng)格與前山迥然不同。在岸邊的樹叢中建有多寶琉璃塔。蘇州街原為宮內(nèi)的民間買賣街，現(xiàn)已修復(fù)并向游人開放。該文章轉(zhuǎn)載自無憂考網(wǎng)： spring –along the lakeside
