If you face south while at the Long Corridor you will get this view of Kunming Lake with Nanhu Island and the 17-Arch bridge in the distance. Visibility was poor that day.
Thank you for sharing the shots of your trip, you were there recently?
Here are the plaster models of the ongoing Zhuozhengyuan medals, engraved by Lin Feng.
Do you have an update on the Humble Administrator's Garden medal?Is there a design proposal yet for the final medal?Thanks.
Nice design. Fwang, you have not added to your translation Blog in some time. Will you get back to translating articles?.........
Thanks for asking. I am doing more English to Chinese translation these days. Coin pics also take a lot of time.
Latest update on Humble Administrator's Garden (Zhuozhengyuan): samples have been made. Please see the attached pictures. The final versions will not be very different.
Fwang, did Lei Ting or the artists for the Zhuozhengyuan medal do any write up for the medal? It's always nice to read about their thoughts with regards to the cultural, historical and design aspects of those Chinese Classical Garden medals.
Using data from fwang2450’s tables I have complied another Table to illustrate trend lines for all the medal types.The spike in mintage numbers for the Summer Palace Corridor and Yuanmingyuan medals is accounted for mainly by increased mintage of the brass H85 and Gilt Brass medals respectively.The key medals* for Lan Ting, Mountain Resort and Liuyuan Gardens are much sought after. I am not sure of the situation with other key medals. Once the last medal of the series is released in 2017 there should be a better picture of how well the whole series has done.*The gold and copper medals are not generally available to the public (apart from the Xiequyuan medal) and cannot be regarded as key medals.
