This picture is taken from the perspective of the Longevity Hill in the southeast and north of the Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace. It summarizes the most important landmark landscapes of the Summer Palace in a wide angle, such as the Buddha Fragrance Pavilion, the Zhichun Pavilion, the Tongniu Pavilion, the Kuoru Pavilion, the 17-hole Bridge, the Jade Belt Bridge, and so on. In the picture, the yellow, green and gray roofs of pavilions and pavilions are finely painted, and the architectural details such as stone bridges and columns are accurately described. The “small fire wheel” steamer running on the lake is a new toy during the reign of Empress Dowager Cixi. The works reflect the appearance of the Summer Palace in the late Qing Dynasty and are quite characteristic of the times
