History's most magnificent garden, the great Yuan Ming Yuan (Garden of Perfect Brightness), was tragically burned in 1860. Built by six generations of Qing emperors, the garden spanned a three-hundred-fifty hectare area with a fairyland of hills, ponds, lakes, ancient trees and palaces filled with one and half centuries of imperial treasure collecting.
Through the immense magic of high quality computer graphics and multimedia technology, the world can once again journey to the garden - to learn, to meditate, to explore, to enjoy. The garden provides vast layers of experience and information for both the serious scholar and the curious tourist in a rich environment of animation, music, stories, characters, and games. At once a museum, a library, a playground, a park, a nature theatre and an art gallery, Yuan Ming Yuan will provide endless hours of fascination for people of all ages and cultures.
