狮子林

位于长春园东湖北岸。本景西部丛芳榭等建于1747年（乾隆十二年），后在其东仿照苏州同名景添建狮子林，1772年（乾隆三十七年）建成。有楼堂亭轩十余座、百余间，尤以叠石著称，并特召苏州山石高手堆塑而成。乾隆帝曾十次题咏"狮子林十六景"，匾诗刻石颇丰。 长春园罹劫后，本景已片瓦无存，湖石、石刻多已失散。1994年局部清整狮子林遗址临水基址和河道，发掘恢复虹桥及水关、水门三座石拱，并复位保护乾隆御笔匾、诗刻石32件。道光御笔"烟岚"诗刻石，今存圆明园展览馆。 ①：狮子林、苏州名园，建于1342年，创园者天如禅师（僧维则）为纪念其师中峰和尚（普应国师）而建，因其曾在浙江天目山狮子峰住过，名园狮子林。
