Beijing | The Summer Palace at Night: Whispers of the Long Corridor and the Marble Boat!

As dusk quietly envelops the Summer Palace, the daytime hustle and bustle gradually fades away. This ancient imperial garden, as if draped in a veil of mystery, embarks on a dream unique to the night.​ The renowned Long Corridor, like a winding dragon, lies quietly on the banks of Kunming Lake. Under the gentle caress of the moonlight, the colors of the paintings become soft and hazy, as if asleep, yet whispering. Strolling along the corridor, the occasional evening breeze causes the wind chimes under the eaves to tinkle, as if the corridor is conversing with the spirits of the night.​ Not far from the Long Corridor is the Marble Boat, moored serenely in the water like a secluded beauty. Its hull, carved from massive stones, exudes strength and stability, gleaming coolly in the moonlight. The slightly upturned bow seems poised to sail the seas at any moment. The exquisite decorations of the Marble Boat's pavilion, with its upturned eaves and brackets, create a graceful silhouette against the night sky. The Summer Palace at night is even more enchanting thanks to the Long Corridor and the Marble Boat. They complement each other in the darkness, together narrating the history and stories of this imperial garden, captivating every visitor with its dreamlike beauty, leaving an unforgettable impression.
