圆明园, also known as the Old Summer Palace, is a historic garden and former imperial palace located in Beijing, China. It was built in the 18th century during the Qing Dynasty and is renowned for its beautiful landscapes, intricate architecture, and extensive collection of art. The garden combined traditional Chinese design with Western influences, making it a unique cultural site. In 1860, during the Second Opium War, the palace was looted and destroyed by British and French troops. Today, 圆明园 serves as a symbol of cultural loss and resilience, attracting visitors who come to learn about its history and appreciate its remaining ruins.
