Repair work on the Garden of Tranquillity, or "Jingyuan", the former residence of China's last emperor Pu Yi is now underway in north China's Tianjin Municipality and is expected to be completed in two years.

Pu Yi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), the last dynasty under China's feudal system, ascended the throne when he was three years old and was dispelled from the Forbidden City in 1925. Pu Yi fled to Tianjin and took up residence in the garden.

He left the garden on Nov. 10, 1931 for the country's northeast, becoming a figurehead emperor for a Japan-manipulated regime. Pu Yi died of illness in Beijing in 1967.

An exhibition hall for the last emperor is to be set up within the 3,360-sq-m garden with cultural relics collected from throughout society.
