Located in the heart of the city, Pei-Hai was once a significant body of water that played a crucial role in the political, economic, and cultural life of ancient China. The image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts a serene scene of the lake surrounded by lush greenery and picturesque landscapes. The tranquil waters reflect the vibrant colors of the surrounding buildings, including the iconic Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven, both of which were major political and religious centers during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The photograph provides a window into a bygone era, offering a glimpse of the grandeur and splendor of imperial China. The intricate details of the architecture, the meticulously manicured gardens, and the bustling markets that once lined the shores of Pei-Hai are all captured in this stunning image. The lake itself was an essential source of water for the city, providing not only drinking water but also serving as a means of transportation and commerce. The image shows the lake teeming with boats and ships, transporting goods and people from various parts of the empire. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Pei-Hai and Beijing as a whole. It serves as a reminder of the city's past glory and the enduring allure of China's ancient history.
