For a long time, the western suburb of Beijing has been a scenic spot with ridges, lakes and springs which are typical of the landscape in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, successive dynasties in Chinese history have set their temporary imperial palaces there, among which the Summer Palace is the largest and most complete existing royal garden. Emperors and empresses came here by water and crossed Xiuyi Bridge over Kunming Lake, on the handrail of which is the inscription by Qianlong Emperor: “small green hill floating on the lake, ripples shining in the light of the moon.”
