Re-yuanmingyuan is the state-of-art digital reconstruction based on over ten years of rigorous scientific research conducted by leading scholars like Professor GUO Daiheng from Tsinghua University. With knowledge from the tremendous reserve of historic literature, our research and reconstruction efforts, reaching down to the last details of even window frames and plaque inscriptions, are all well grounded. In combination of the huge amount of high precision archaeological information captured from the site, a specialized architectural and archaeological information platform has been successfully established, upon which the historical development of Yuanmingyuan is vividly rendered.
