Four pavilions representing the four seasons flank the left and right of the Hall of Imperial Peace.

Fubiting (Jade-green Floating Pavilion) and Chengruiting (the Pavilion of Auspicious Clarity)
Slightly to the north are the Fubiting (Jade-green Floating Pavilion) and Chengruiting (the Pavilion of Auspicious Clarity). Both are square pavilions over a pond, with open roofed corridors on their southern sides.
Wanchunting (the pavilion of Ten Thousand Springs) and Qianqiuting (the Pavilion of One Thousand Autumns)
Stepped and uniform in plan, the two other pavilion stand to the south: Wanchunting (the pavilion of Ten Thousand Springs) and Qianqiuting (the Pavilion of One Thousand Autumns). The pathway in the garden is paved with tiny cobbles of various colors in 900 mosaic designs, covering a wide range of subjects. Collecting Elegance Hill
Duxiu Hill (Collecting Elegance Hill)
Near the north gate, there is a group of man-made rockeries, called Duixiu (Collecting Elegance) Hill with Yujingting (Imperial View Pavilion) on the top.

In the Qing Dynasty, every emperor would climb up to the pavilion on the Double Ninth festival (the ninth day of the ninth lunar month) to enjoy the scenery with his empress and concubines. According to the old saying in China, climbing up hills that day can escape misfortune. Therefore, even today, Chinese people, especially the aged, still celebrate the Double Ninth Festival in this way every year.

At the north gate of the Imperial Garden are placed a pair of gilded bronze elephants, symbolizing universal peace.
