This is China’s Persepolis. Yuanming Yuan (Old Summer Palace) was looted and burned by French and British troops 150 years ago during the second Opium War. Yuanming Yuan means the Garden of Perfect Brightness. It is a symbol of foreign aggression and humiliation in China according to Wikipedia. This is the ruins of European style palaces.
Ruins of European style structure. Yuanming Yuan had 95% of Chinese style structures including Tibetan and Mongolian style buildings, 5% European structures.
Lamb kabob is a very popular snack in Beijing. I saw people selling lamb kabob on the street all the time. I rarely saw chicken kabob. Lamb hot pot (steamboat) is another famous Beijing dish. Pekinese have a huge appetite for mutton.
