The Hill of Soaring Elegance (DuiXiu Shan) stands directly inside of the Chun Cheng Men, the North Gate of the Garden and can be seen fom outside the Inner Wall underneath the Gate of Divine Might (Shen Wu Men).
It's height soars above the Garden and gives a spectacular but unaccesible panoramic view of the Imperial Palace. It was used in ceremony each year on the 7th day of the 7th Lunar Month - the mid-autumn festival, and on the double 9 day (September 9Th), on which occasion the Emperor, the Empresses and all the Concubines would climb to the Pavilion atop the Hill to Celebrate and enjoy the views.
