Yuan Ming Yuan, The Ruins of "Garden of Gardens" | |
![]() |
Unfortunately, the garden was looted and
torched by the Anglo-French allied force in 1860
and by the allied force of eight powers in 1900. A
once wondrous garden was reduced to ruins.
Visitors today can see a few blocks of stone and
broken marble that once belonged to the European palaces constructed under Emperor
Qianlong between 1740 and 1747.
