This image displays an outdoor architectural scene within the Summer Palace, located in Haidian District, Beijing, China. The central subject is a white stupa (dagoba) with a two-tiered, intricately decorated green base, topped with a golden finial. Behind and to the left of the stupa, a traditional Chinese pavilion with an ornate yellow-orange tiled roof and white and red walls is visible. To the right and further back, a series of interconnected red-walled buildings featuring numerous small, rectangular, white-framed windows ascend a gentle incline. The stupa's white spire is ribbed, leading to a golden, flame-like finial. Its green base sections are adorned with multiple small, recessed niches, potentially housing miniature figures. The pavilion exhibits a classic Chinese hip-and-gable roof style with upturned eaves and decorative elements. A small bell is discernible hanging from the pavilion's eaves on the left. The prominent red walls throughout the complex show variations in hue and some signs of weathering, with visible streaks in places. Lush green trees frame the structures on both the left and right, and densely populate the background, suggesting a verdant environment. The sky is overcast with a uniform light grey-blue tone. In the immediate foreground, a dark grey stone wall with a lighter grey coping is visible, featuring stone gargoyles or water spouts. A golden, curved surface, possibly part of a large decorative drum or base, is partially visible at the very bottom. No individuals are present in the scene.
