The landscape of Yuanmingyuan is dominated by water, winning by water features, including vast and calm lakes and narrow and swift streams. Yuanmingyuan is mainly composed of Fuhai Scenic Area and Houhu Scenic Area.
After Yongzheng 1722 acceded to the throne, the original garden was expanded. In the south of the garden, Zheng Da Guangming Hall, Qin Zhengtang and many value rooms of the Cabinet, Sixth Department and Military Department were built, hoping to "avoid noise and listen to politics" here in summer. During the Qianlong period, in addition to the local reconstruction of Yuanmingyuan, Changchun Garden was built in the east and merged into Wanchun Garden in the southeast. At this point, the pattern of Yuanmingyuan was basically formed, and it was repaired and expanded many times during Jiaqing and Daoguang years.
