The Summer Palace in Beijing 萬寿山 |
Pictorial plan of the Summer Palace 1888
Longevity Hill is about 60m high and has many buildings positioned in sequence. The front hill is rich with
splendid halls and pavilions, while the back hill, in sharp contrast, is quiet with natural beauty. The central
Kunming Lake, covering 2.2 square kilometres, was entirely man-made and the excavated soil was used
to build Longevity Hill. In December 1998, UNESCO included the Summer Palace on its World Heritage List.
It declared the Summer Palace "a masterpiece of Chinese landscape garden design. The natural landscape
of hills and open water is combined with artificial features such as pavilions, halls, palaces, temples and
bridges to form a harmonious ensemble of outstanding aesthetic value."
