museum of garden construction and horticulture. Known to be one of
the largest museums in the world, a popular name in China was the
'Garden of Gardens'. the Imperial Gardens were destroyed by British and French troops in 1860 during the Second Opium War. Today, the destruction of the Gardens of Perfect Brightness is still regarded as a symbol of foreign aggression and humiliation in China. |
