Which little-known scenic spots are there in the Summer Palace?

In spring, the earliest place to enjoy flowers in the Summer Palace is the mountain peach blossoms on the West Causeway. Unexpectedly, this year, a large area of winter jasmine on the West Causeway is also incredibly beautiful and very photogenic. The winter jasmine and mountain peach blossoms complement each other, and the willow trees with their newly sprouted buds add to the beauty, creating a sense of depth. In addition to flower viewing and scenery appreciation, the newly opened Cloud-Top Stroll in Paintings Pavilion is also exceptionally beautiful! I've been to the Summer Palace many times, but I've never been here. The newly opened Stroll in Paintings, located on the north side of the Tingliguan Restaurant, stands quietly. Its history can be traced back to the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and was later revived during the Guangxu period. This complex of buildings is scattered high and low, incredibly beautiful. Not only are the pavilions picturesque, but the Chenghui Pavilion, the Aishan Pavilion, the Jieqiu Pavilion, and the exquisite stone archways and corridors together weave a breathtaking scenery. Standing here at this height, you feel as if you can touch the vastness of the sky. Looking south, the sparkling Kunming Lake unfolds before your eyes; looking west, the magnificent mountains of Jade Spring Hill and Western Hills stand silently in the distance. This is a rare scenic spot in the front mountains of Longevity Hill. Every building seems to be a perfect fusion of nature and art, nestled against the mountains and by the water. The layout is symmetrical yet varied, with rocks, pines, and cypresses outlining the rich charm of a small mountain garden. Walking along the corridors of Stroll in Paintings, you're like walking through a flowing landscape painting, with every corner revealing a new world. This is Stroll in Paintings—a captivating place that makes you feel like you're in a paradise.
