What happened to the "three mountains and three gardens" that Cixi was bent on misappropriating military funds?

The "Three Mountains and Three Gardens" built by Empress Dowager Cixi in the early days have been transformed into tourist attractions and cultural protection units.

"Three Mountains and Three Gardens" refer to Wanshou Mountain, Yuquan Mountain and Xiangshan Mountain, while "Three Gardens" refer to Qingyi Garden under Wanshou Mountain, Jingyi Garden under Xiangshan Mountain and Jingming Garden under Yuquan Mountain.

Three mountains and three gardens are famous for their beautiful scenery, and it cost a lot of money to build this huge project. Empress Dowager Cixi always likes to use military expenses to build gardens for her own enjoyment, and this time is no exception. At first, the construction went smoothly, but with the progress of the project, money could not keep up with the progress of the project, so many of them had to be abandoned and only a Qingyi Garden was built.

Later, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, which led to the destruction of the Jingyi Garden under construction. So Jingyi Garden was abandoned and never finished. Jingming Garden was destroyed with Xiangshan as early as when the British and French allied forces invaded China. Later, Jingyi Garden and Xiangshan were transformed into People's Park together. Xiangshan is famous for its red leaves, and Jingyi Garden is also appreciated by the world. Jingming Garden is poor because it has been destroyed so badly that it can only be listed as the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.

Qingyi Garden is quite famous. It is located in Wanshou Mountain. Because of its high altitude and proximity to the lake, the scenery of this place is unique. Although it was destroyed by the British and French Coalition forces on a large scale, Cixi loved this place so much that she used military funds for reconstruction many times, so it was well preserved. Now this Qingyi Garden is a tourist attraction that everyone must punch in when visiting Beijing, which is also commonly known as the Summer Palace.
