EDITORS COMMENTS
Wan Shou Shan (Longevity Hill), Summer Palace, Peking, Bejing, China - This vintage photograph, captured in the late 19th century, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of China. The image, titled "Wan Shou Shan" or Longevity Hill, is a part of the Summer Palace located in Bejing, the capital city of China. The Summer Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is an iconic landmark and a must-visit destination for travelers. It was originally built in 1750 as a royal retreat for the Emperor Qianlong and his concubines, and later expanded by the Empress Dowager Cixi in the late 19th century. The photograph showcases the grandeur and beauty of Wan Shou Shan, a hill located in the northern part of the Summer Palace. The hill is famous for its scenic beauty, with its winding paths, temples, pavilions, and gardens offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and the city of Bejing. The image, taken by the renowned photographer Thomas Child, captures the essence of the era, with its use of the albumen printing process, which was popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The photograph provides a unique perspective of the past, allowing us to explore the history, architecture, and culture of China during a time when travel was an adventure and the world was still largely unexplored. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the contrasting landscapes of China, from the urban streets of Bejing to the tranquil countryside, and the traditional structures that blend seamlessly with the natural beauty of the land. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of China's past, and a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating our cultural heritage for future generations.
