用英语说中国旅游华北地区 01：颐和园自然概况2

特别提醒

The palace is the largest and the best-preserved royal garden in the world with the richest cultural connotation,hence it is honored as a the museum of royal gardens. Its general layout makes full use of the hill and the lake，together with the borrowed views from the peaks of the west mountain，which brings about infinite scenery variations with exceeding beauty. The buildings in the palace are the architectural cream from all parts of China. The administrative and residential areas in the east of the palace are typical of the quadrangle in northern China，where the enclosed courtyards are connected by various roofed causeways. The lake area in its south，however，is an imitation of West Lake of Hangzhou， where a dyke divides the lake in two，thus giving it an obvious touch of southern China landscape. On the north side of Longevity Hill，the scene is that of Tibetan masery，where stand white pagodas and buildings like blockhouses And in north，the Suzhou Market Street，with all kinds of shops and its crisscrossing water courses，is again in the style of the waterscape in southern China. 颐和园是世界上建筑规模最大，保存最完整，文化内涵最丰富的皇家御苑，被誉为皇家园林博物馆。全园以山湖形式巧做安排，以西山群峰借景，使园内景色变幻无穷，美不胜收园内建筑吸收了中国各地建筑的精华。东部的宫殿区和内廷区，是典型的北方四合院风格。一个个封闭的院落山游廊连通;南部的湖泊区是仿杭州西湖景色，一道西堤把湖泊一分为二，具有一浓郁的江南情调;万寿山的北面，是典型的西藏喇嘛庙宇风格，有白塔及城堡式建筑，北部的苏州街，店铺林立，水道纵横，又是典型的江南水乡风格。
