Keeper of a Lost Empire |
| It was an artificial hill rising right above what was once the center of the Qing Empire--the Forbidden City. It was also an imperial garden created by the emperors, and only reserved for their eyes. The imperial court astronomers called it "The Guarding Hill", and according to Feng Shui rites, it was believed at the time to protect the empire for eternity. |
