1744年写景图 A landscape painting done in 1744

位于后湖东北。本景建于1727年（雍正五年）前后，可分为西北部兰亭、西南部抱朴草堂、东北部舍卫城、东南部三层戏楼同乐园和中部皇家宫市买卖街五部分。

兰亭，原是一座重檐三开间敞亭，仿自浙江绍兴古兰亭"曲水充觞"意境，建于雍正初年，时称流杯亭，乾隆初年题额"坐石临流"。此亭后于1779年（乾隆四十四年）改建为八方形，并换成巨型石柱，每柱各刻一册历代著名书法《兰亭贴》，是为兰亭八柱贴。该亭被英法联军烧毁后，八根兰亭贴柱今存北京城里中山公园。

舍卫城，是座典型的佛教建筑，俗称佛城。供奉城隍爷、关帝君、三世佛、弥勒佛等。每月初一、十五，或逢佳节时令，皇帝至此拈香拜佛，并有首领太监充当僧人上殿念经。据说此城布局仿建古代印度乔萨罗国都城。逢皇帝、皇太后寿诞，王公大臣进奉各种精美佛像也存放于此，年复一年竟达数万尊。
