The Yuanmingyuan Museum serves as an entry point into the wider landscape of the Old Summer Palace, shaping how visitors encounter and interpret the site as part of a continuous cultural experience.

By night, a light painting artist works in front of the architectural remains of the Western Mansions (Xiyang Lou), a site historically associated with the meeting of Chinese and European aesthetic traditions. Once a royal garden of exceptional scale and vision, Yuanmingyuan today is experienced not as a closed historical site, but as a layered space of memory and reflection, where meaning continues to unfold through presence and perception.
