Xiyanlou Scenic Area: Where Yuanmingyuan's Ruins Still Whispers 🏯🍂

#hellohalloween
Step into the most poetic corner of the Old Summer Palace – Xiyanlou isn't just ruins; it's an open-air museum where broken marble and overgrown foundations tell stories of Qing Dynasty splendor!

✨ Echoes of Imperial Glory:

European-style marble pillars reaching for the sky like forgotten dreams
Lotus-covered pond foundations that once mirrored Baroque palaces
Carved stone fragments scattered like pages from a burned history book
Moon Gate frames perfectly framing modern Beijing's skyline
Wander through arched doorways leading nowhere, trace floral patterns on weathered stones, and sit where emperors once admired their Western-inspired palaces.

The way morning light filters through broken arches will break and lift your heart simultaneously.
