This is the Tower of Buddhist Incense with the Hall of Dispelling Clouds in front. The Tower sits atop Longevity Hill, a 200-foot high hill that was built from the dirt excavated to make Kunming Lake. I took these photos at the Summer Palace in Beijing, which is made up of 300 hectares of palaces and gardens with Kunming Lake accounting for 75% of the area. The view of Kunming Lake from the top of Longevity Hill is stunning! Looking left from the Tower of Buddhist Incense, but not connected, is Zhuanlunzang Pavilion.
