EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of the Summer Palace in Beijing, China, during the early 1910s. The image showcases the picturesque landing stage or jetty, nestled along the tranquil shores of Kunming Lake. The Summer Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a vast ensemble of gardens, temples, and palaces, spread across an expansive area. The landmark's most prominent features are Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake. The landing stage, with its intricate wooden design and ornate details, provides a charming contrast to the natural backdrop of the lake and the lush greenery that surrounds it. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, with the absence of modern structures and the traditional Chinese boats moored at the jetty, adding to the historical ambiance. The Summer Palace holds significant historical importance, having served as the imperial retreat for the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The complex, which was originally constructed in 1750, has undergone several restorations over the centuries, with the latest one being completed in the late 1960s. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of China, providing a window into the past and transporting the viewer to a time when the Summer Palace was a symbol of power, beauty, and tranquility. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of this magnificent landmark, which continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
