Xiaoxitian in Buddhism
is the Land of Extreme Happiness. Emperor QianLong
built the Guanyin Hall at Minor Western Heaven for
his mother to pray for her happiness and longevity
. It occupies an area of 1260 square meters and
surrounded by water. On each direction of the hall
there is an archway of glazed tiles and a square
pavilion. It is the largest palatial hall in the
style of a square pavilion in China. |

The artificial hill in Guanyin Hall
has the images of Guanyin (a Bodhisattva) and the
800 Arhats. The inscription of "Extreme Happiness"
behind the hill is in the handwriting of Emperor
Qian Long.
