Yuanmingyuan is called the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens.

In the Yuanmingyuan, there are magnificent halls and exquisite pavilions; There are "buying and selling streets" symbolizing lively markets, as well as mountains and rivers and countryside symbolizing rural scenery. Many scenic spots in the park are modeled after those in other places, such as An Lan Garden in Haining, Lion Forest in Suzhou, Autumn Moon in Pinghu and Leifeng Sunset in Hangzhou West Lake. There are also many scenes based on the poetry of ancient poets, such as Penglai Yaotai and Wuling Chunjing. There are not only national buildings in the park, but also western landscapes. Strolling in the garden is like roaming the distant south and enjoying the beautiful scenery at home and abroad; Wandering around, as if in a fantasy realm.

Yuanmingyuan is not only magnificent in architecture, but also contains the most precious historical relics. From the bronze ritual vessels in the pre-Qin period to the famous painters and painters in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties and all kinds of rare treasures.

1860101On October 6th, British and French forces invaded Beijing and invaded Yuanmingyuan. They robbed the garden of everything they could take away; If you can't move it, use carts or animals to carry it; If it can't be shipped, it will be destroyed at will. In order to destroy the criminal evidence, more than 3000 intruders were ordered to set fire to the garden on June 18 and June 19. The fire burned for three days and thick smoke enveloped the whole city of Beijing. China, the treasure of garden art and the essence of architectural art, was reduced to ashes in this way.

The site of Yuanmingyuan is located in the east of the Summer Palace in Haidian District, Beijing, and in the north of Haidian Town. At present, the central and western parts of the park are undeveloped, and the eastern landscape is mainly open, with an open area of more than 200 hectares.

Countless facts in history show that a poor, backward and weak country and nation can only be oppressed, exploited, humiliated and plundered. The history of burning Yuanmingyuan once again proves that a poor, backward and weak country will be beaten.
