This book is the first comprehensive study of the palatial garden complex in a Western language, amply illustrated with photographs and original drawings. Written in an engaging style, Young-tsu Wong brings "the garden of perfect brightness" to life as he leads readers on a grand tour of its architecture and history. This work would be favorable to foreign readers and researchers interested in Chinese garden architecture, the rise and fall of Yuanming Yuan and the history of the Qing Dynasty.
