The Cloud Dispelling Hall (Paiyundian) and the Tower of the Fragrance of the Buddha (Foxiang Ge) atop Fragrance Hill, Summer Palace (Yihe Yuan), Beijing.

The Summer Palace (Yiheyuan) was originally created during the Ming Dynasty, but was designed in its current form by Qing emperor Qianlong (r. 1736 - 1795). It is however Qianlongs mother, the Qing Dowager Empress Cixi who is most irrevocably linked to the palace, since she had it restored twice during her reign, once in 1860 after it was plundered by British and French troops during the Second Opium War, and again in 1902 when foreign troops sought reprisals for the Boxer Rebellion, an anti-Christian movement.
