There is another imperial site in Beijing I’ve not yet shown you. It’s the Summer Palace, and it dates back to 1750 and the Qianlong Emporer (1711-1799) of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912).
Emporer Qianong established the Summer Palace on 860 acres as a tribute to his mother Empress Dowager Chongqing on the occasion of her 60th birthday.
