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. Click on the images below to see a full page
