PLANNING TIP
To hire a boat in summer, youâll need to pay a hefty deposit (Â¥400â800). Boat choices range from four-person pedal boats to six-person electric boats.
Northwestern Shore
One of several fascinating buildings along the north shore is Jingxin Studio (éå¿æ, JìngxÄ«n ZhÄi), a âgarden within a gardenâ and a favourite retreat of the Qianlong Emperor, who would sip tea, listen to the plucking of the guqin (Chinese zither) and savour the carp-filled pools and scenic views.
Western Heaven (西天梵å¢, XÄ«tiÄn Fánjìng) was a lamasery during the Ming dynasty, and was subsequently rebuilt in 1759; itâs fronted by a magnificent four-pillared memorial arch. Beyond the Hall of the Heavenly Kings is its centrepiece, a gorgeous Ming-era hall of unpainted cedar. Nearby is the Nine Dragon Screen, a 27m-long spirit wall emblazoned with coiled dragons.
At the northwest corner of the lake, the Ming dynasty Five Dragon Pavilions (äºé¾äº, WÇlóng TÃng), which jut out over the water, were a fishing spot for emperors; nowadays theyâre the haunt of ballroom-dancing couples. Close by, Little Western Heaven (å°è¥¿å¤©, XiÇoxÄ«tiÄn) is the largest square pavilion-style palace in China. It was built in secret as a gift for the Qianlong Emperorâs mother on her 80th birthday. Ferries (Â¥20) run between the North Shore and Jade Islet, or you can walk.
