Abstract
Abstract. Heritage documentation and representation is now a growing concern in the contemporary world, with unprecedentedly rapid technological development that pushes the frontier further every day. This ever growing means benefits both professionals and the general public, and the two can now be connected by this virtual bridge that channels heritage information from one end of the spectrum to the other, thus facilitating a dialogue never considered before. 4D virtual heritage with visualized tempo-spatial information can be easily shared across the continents and the story of heritage is told by a simple move of the thumb. Mobile LBS (Location-Based Service) enhances visitors' on-site experience and is readily available on the popular iOS platform. UGC (User Generated Content) on the internet provides interaction among users and managers, and brings the heritage site and the public into a live conversation. Although the above technological exploration is promising in itself, the question still remains as how it may be best implemented. The Re-yuangmingyuan program for the reconstruction and representation of an imperial garden in Beijing has made several attempts that deserve discussion, and contributes to heritage documentation and conservation in general.

Summary
As cultural heritage is attracting more attention from all sectors around the globe, there is an increasing need to explore the technological potential at the service of heritage documentation and interpretation. In the attempts to digitally document perished built heritage and landscape and to generate virtual reconstructions, a methodology has been gradually developed that can be applied to East Asian timer structures (He Yan, 2012). With an experienced team and mature process, similar archaeological sites are almost ready to come back to life again. The question is how to present the reconstruction to the audience as effective as possible? The following are the technological answers, as demonstrated in the Reyuanmingyuan program The question is how to present the reconstruction to the audience as effective as possible?
