Yuanmingyuan

Also known as the Ruins of the Yuanmingyuan (the Garden of Perfection and Light), the Old Summer Palace is located northwest of Beijing and to the east of the present-day Summer Palace. The Garden was first constructed in the year of 1709 during the reign of the Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Over the next 150 years, this Garden was expanded into a large-scale Chinese emperors’ private pleasure garden, covering a total area of over 864 acres (350 hectares).
