About sky light up and down
Shangxia Tianguang is one of the forty sceneries of the Old Summer Palace. It is a cultural relic of the Qing Dynasty. It is located on the north bank of Houhu Lake in the northwest of the Jiuzhou Scenic Area of the Old Summer Palace in Beijing. It is adjacent to Ciyun Puhu to the east and Xinghuachun Pavilion to the west. It was built during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty and got its name from the sentence "The sky above and below is bright and green" in Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Tower". The main building is a two-story pavilion facing the lake, with a hundred-foot winding nine-curved flat bridge on both sides, as well as the Yinhe Pavilion and the Qishang Pavilion, forming a landscape of "water and sky connected up and down", making it a place to enjoy the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
