Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Peking Summer Palaces Under the Ch'ing Dynasty The great day for this country palace region came under the Ch'ing Dynasty. Its dawn came with Emperor K'ang Hsi, 1661-1722, who built here his chief country villa and gardens where he might relax somewhat from the cares of state and the ceremonious life of the Peking palace. In his reign also was begun the Yuan Ming Yuan, a garden palace for his son, who later succeeded him and made this his chief suburban palace.
