Besides the Forbidden City, the Beijing Summer Palace is probably the most famous imperial buildings in China.
It was burnt down by the Anglo-French forces but rebuilt for the Empress Dowager subsequently. The reconstruction was infamous for using the navy funds, which resulted in the defeat of the Chinese navy by the Japanese subsequently.
