The garden lies on the central axis of the palace, known as the rear palace garden in the Ming and the Imperial Garden in the Qing, its rare stones and fine trees set among pavilions of great delicacy.

We ask that you purchase only from Tang Heritage or our authorised channels, and that you \u003cstrong\u003eexercise caution with listings priced well below ours\u003c\/strong\u003e, as they are unlikely to be the same piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep away from hard or sharp objects to protect the surface design. Wipe the mirror gently with a soft, dry cloth. The mirror ships with a protective film on its surface; peel it away before first use, it is not a scratch.
