The Ying T'ai — Terrace of the Ocean [Beijing]. Photographer: Mennie, Donald
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
View from the courtyard of part of the range of buildings: 'This is an island, or rather the group of beautiful buildings on the island, in the 'Southern Sea' or Nan Hai, west of the Forbidden City. The islet is connected with the mainland by a drawbridge. Over and above the beauty of it there is the peculiar interest of its having been the prison of the unhappy Kuang Hsü after the coup d'état of 1898, and again, though under less strict conditions, after the return of the Court from Hsi An in 1901 till he died there in 1908.'
