The discovery of rock garden in Beijing's Old Summer Palace will help the public better understand Qing-era construction. Wang Kaihao reports.
In the northwestern corner of Beijing's Yuanmingyuan Ruins Park, which spreads over 340 hectares, is a 15-meter-high rock garden with over 1,000 pieces of megalith.
It used to be the highest point of Yuanmingyuan ("the garden of perfect brightness") - also known as Old Summer Palace - the large royal resort of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
