    Contents: It was once so lovely here. Everything that a near-superhuman people could imagine was gathered here at Yuanmingyuan. It was a wonderland, like the legendary palace on the moon that lies beyond the powers of description if not of the imagination. It had the elegance and sumptuousness of court architecture, plus all the grace and charm of South China gardens. Yuanmingyuan was considered by posterity as the masterpiece of Chinese landscape gardening, hailed as "the garden of gardens - the ne plus ultra."
