The Summer Palace loved by Empress Dowager Cixi

The Summer Palace, which was burned down by British forces in the 17th century, was rebuilt by Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty, and despite suffering another loss, it is still a beautiful imperial garden. It is the largest existing imperial garden in Beijing, and the scenery of mountains and lakes is so beautiful that the Chinese government has designated it as a 5A-level scenic spot.
