This long structure, of 700 metres, was built so that one of the emperors (or I think is was an aunt) could walk by the lake without being bothered by the sun! Then, artists were sent to all parts of China to look at beautiful scenery and come back and paint the walls.
There are about 5,000 such paintings in the corridor. It is a most beautiful walk. Beats the gym anyday!
