More than a century and a half after its destruction, a site in the ruins of Yuanmingyuan - the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911) royal resort also known as the Old Summer Palace - has been unearthed in Beijing.
New findings were announced on Tuesday (Dec 15) by an archaeological team working on the site, which comprises researchers from the Beijing Archaeological Research Institute, Peking University and the administration of the Yuanmingyuan Ruins Park.
Built in 1727 during the reign of Yongzheng (1723 - 35), the site covers about 26,000 square metres and was where Qing emperors held farming ceremonies.
It was called Danbo Ningjing, literally to live in serenity and without many desires , which comes from a famous line of Zhuge Liang (181-234), a master strategist and a prime minister.
