Take a glimpse of Qing dynasty China through the lensaoji

Jade Belt Bridge, or Moon Bridge, is on the grounds of the Summer Palace on the western shore of Kunming Lake. The elegantly arched bridge, a traditional Chinese design, permitted passage of the Emperor's dragon boat. On special occasions the Emperor and Empress passed under this bridge while on Kunming Lake. [Photo provided by Stephan Loewentheil Historical Photography of China Collection]
