Abstract: This paper integrates macro-level considerations of the geographical features surrounding Chang’an, the Tang capital, to examine the role of Huaqing Palace within the capital’s landscape pattern. The paper delves into the vibrant landscape patterns depicted in the contemporary landscape paintings and murals, analyzing Huaqing Palace’s aesthetic characteristics by drawing insights from paintings of the palace, Zhaoying City maps and historical records. Utilizing ArcGIS, Global Mapper and other software, it extracts geographic information data from DEM elevation maps to visually represent the relationship between Huaqing Palace and its surrounding landscapes of mountains and rivers, seeking to unveil the nuanced landscape design of Huaqing Palace. Furthermore, employing a landscape archeology research method in combination with documentary archaeology with geographic information data, the approach is instrumental in addressing gaps in written records to prove the accordance of the design of the Huaqing Palace to the natural environment, summarizing as a spatial pattern of “mountains-gardens-palaces-citiesrivers”.
