Introduction to Canglang Island: It is located northwest of the Summer Resort Ruyizhou Leshou Hall and west of the Shuifangyan Show Hall on the lakeside. It is the seventeenth scene in the "Thirty-six Scenes of Qianlong". Surrounded by tiger skin walls, there are six halls in the center. To the south is the hanging flower gate and the vestibule. The right side of the courtyard has a deep winding path, and the left side of the courtyard leads directly to the main hall. The three rooms in the north are above the pool, with Kangxi's inscription "Canglang Island" hanging under the eaves. The water in the pool is crystal clear, with red carp roaming among the water lily leaves; the rockery in the north of the pool is strange, jagged, and steep, forming "the island is no longer than ten bows, and the steep wall goes straight down, with the potential of a thousand feet."
