Revolving Archive and the Longevity Hill Stele – Summer Palace, Beijing

A tall stone stele on a terraced base stands between two-storey pavilions with green glazed roofs, on a walled terrace against the wooded slope of Longevity Hill. East of the Tower of Buddhist Incense, the Revolving Archive held Buddhist scriptures in revolving wooden cases, and the stele bears Qianlong's inscription naming Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake.
