Observatory of Distant Oceans, Yuanyingguan 遠瀛觀
Yuanyingguan, southern (or front) side
The ornately decorated pillars are intact, but appear to have only a decorative function. The brick structure of the building is exposed on the right side. The photographer stood in front of the Grand Fountain looking up at the elevated Yuanyingguan. These pillars are among the most prominent of the ruins at the Yuanmingyuan Park today. Depicted in Engraving 14.
