The Long Corridor (长廊, Cháng Láng) is a corridor full with paintings on it's beams and ceiling. It's having more than 14,000 of paintings and 728m in length.

At old times, there are no blogs or photo gallery online, so the Emperor enjoyed the paintings which tell different incidents and stories. Isn't that God of Prosperous and Bao Qing Tien?

The Seventeen-Arch Bridge, quite a long bridge to walk to cross the lake.

They told me each lion statue on the bridge was hand crafted, each of them having unique style and look. Great!

Another nice shot of the bridge and good timing. Many photographers waited there for this moment for the best shots.

Lots of the head of the wall statue were gone. Vandalism or maybe they wish to sell it for money i guess :(
