It is regarded as one of China's four famous gardens, and the other three are Summer Palace in Beijing, Humble Administrator's Garden and Lingering Garden in Suzhou.  The western and northern parts of the Summer Resort are the mountain area which commands a beautiful view of layer upon layer of green hills.
