Wild Red Yonder
Photo 4 of 12
European-style maze
The whole area surrounding what's in this photo was a gigantic folly built by the Qing emperors: a palace within a palace modelled on European examples, particularly Versailles. Supposedly, every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival this maze and the pavilion at its centre were the heart of imperial festivities. It must have been absolutely magnificent.
