The
Summer Palace

The Summer Palace is located just north and west of the Forbidden City.  It was built as a retreat in the later Qing dynasty.  The Empress Dowager Cixi spent funds designated for the Chinese Navy to construct much of this retreat.  It was ransacked and burned no less than 3 times at the beginning of the 1900s.
