Located between Rear Lake and Fuhai Lake, Curving Courtyard and Lotus Pond is one of the 40 sceneries of Yuanmingyuan. It imitates from the landscape in Xihu Lake of Huangzhou with the same name.
The pond area was vast and green waves were like mirror. In summer, it was comfortable to sit quietly in Quyuan Corridor and appreciated the scenery of thousands of stems swaying in green water.
