The image above is of what my father referred to as the "water pagoda in Yenching University near the summer palace." This image was captured in January 1946.
A little research on my part revealed that this is Boya Pagoda near Weiming Lake. It is a famous landmark on the campus of Peking University. It is the first established modern national university of China, founded as the "Imperial University of Peking" in 1898. Today it is listed as one of the top universities in China.
