On the top of each stone bar on the bridge are carved stone lions in different shapes, which are delicate, magnificent and beautifulWhen people are standing on the shore in the sunny summer and autumn, looking at the lake, motor boats and painted boats carrying tourists around the lake tour; rows of boats were sailing on the tourists' paddles. Bridge, island, temple, and pavilion are reflected in the water, and the lake is full of vitality. It presents a magnificent picture.

Suzhou Street

Suzhou Street is distributed in the garden, small and exquisite, against the mountains and water. It is just like the Jiangnan picture dotted on the axis of the building of the back mountain and back lake. It further sets off the tranquility and elegance of the back lake and vividly reproduces the city's mountain forests. The buildings in Suzhou Street, whether in the water or beside the water, all echo the landscape on Longevity Hill, with overall layout and orderly landscaping. The beautiful Jiangnan-style water town market in Beijing is like a folk temple fair with entertainment, food and commerce, which reflects the unique Qing Palace life and Chinese flourishing traditional business culture. Visitors can go shopping along the coast or by boat, full of the fun of antique tourism.
