Emperor Qian Long (1711-1799) was the third emperor of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). He was the longest-lived emperor in China.

He combined psychological therapy, exercise, diet and tonics together successfully for health care.

The beautiful Yuanmingyuan, an imperial garden, was built by him, and he spent one-third of the year in this peaceful and pleasant garden.

In the morning and after supper, he walked around it. In summer he went boating and in winter he took sleigh ride.

He liked to enjoy the sight of  flowers and watch fish, which was beneficial to his health.
