Built during the Qing Dynasty, it served as the primary imperial residence for emperors during the summer months. The palace complex was renowned for its exquisite architecture, expansive gardens, and extensive collection of artworks and treasures. Tragically, the Old Summer Palace was ransacked and destroyed by British and French forces during the Second Opium War in 1860, resulting in significant loss of cultural heritage. Despite its ruinous state, the site remains a poignant symbol of China's history and the enduring legacy of its imperial past. Date Submitted Date of submission of the resource.
