Magnolias in the Old Summer Palace

The Old Summer Palace is located in Haidian District, Beijing, and is the largest existing royal garden in China. According to historical records, a large number of magnolias were planted in the Old Summer Palace, with many varieties, including white magnolia, red magnolia, yellow magnolia, purple magnolia, etc., which was a major landscape of the Old Summer Palace in spring. However, during the Anglo-French invasion of China in 1860, a large number of plants were destroyed. Today, there are still some magnolias in the Old Summer Palace, which still add vitality and beauty to the Old Summer Palace. #Mainland China Attractions
