this once-grand palace was tragically burned down by British and French troops

#chinatransit The older summer palace is so huge that we only managed to completed a small area in order to complete the rest of our itinerary for the day. It’s very close to the subway. But normally in autumn when is the leaves turn yellow it will be full of people. Although most of the structures have been destroyed, but this is a place that everyone should visit. Looking at the ruins, you can only imagine how glorious this place was and see the brilliance of the architect, engineer and the workmanship.
