Visit the Old Summer Palace Ruins Park, known as the Garden of Gardens.

The great French writer Victor Hugo once said, "Even if all the treasures of all our Notre Dame cathedrals were combined, they could not rival the vastness and magnificence of this Oriental Museum." In October 1860, the Old Summer Palace was brutally looted and burned by the British, French, and Eight-Nation Alliance forces.
