| The Imperial Summer Villa, located in the city of Chengde in northeastern Hebei province, is Chinaââ¬â¢s largest imperial garden. Twice the size of Beijingââ¬â¢s Summer Palace, construction spanned nearly ninety years, beginning under Emperor Kangxi in 1703 and lasting through the greater part of Emperor Qianlongââ¬â¢s reign. The Imperial Summer Villa often saw use as a de facto second capital as Kangxi set a precedent followed by Qianlong and a succession of other Qing emperors of spending much of the year at the garden. In 1994, the Imperial Summer Villa became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. |
