YuanMingYuan was destroyed by troops from a coalition of eight countries that included Britain and France in 1860. The destruction was finished off by a second invasion in 1900. Today, the destruction of YuanMingYuan is still felt within China as a vivid symbol of foreign aggression and humiliation. The structures are nearly all gone but the gardens remain, in basic shape and form, and the area is now a beautiful public park.
