According to the "Plan for Ruins of Yuanmingyuan Park" passed recently by the Beijing Government, Yuanmingyuan Park of china land tours will be partially restored and rebuilt in the near future. The relevant departments of Beijing have already started the job of moving over 600 households and 14 work units out of Yuanmingyuan, Changchunyuan and Wanchunyuan parks, and clearing away garbage to improve the environment of the park.

Yuanmingyuan Beijing tour packages was the general name for three gardens—the garden of Perfect Brightness (Yuanming), Eternal Spring (Changchun), and Elegant Spring (Qichun). Covering an area of 3.5 square kilometers at its peak, it had over a hundred famous scenic areas. It was built with great care over the course of 150 years, beginning in 1707, during the reigns of emperors Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang, and Xianfeng. It was well-known all over the world as the "garden of gardens" and a "paragon of gardens worldwide" because of its grand scale, outstanding landscape art, exquisite architecture, and its cultural heritage. On October 18, 1860, while the Palace was occupied by French and British troops, orders were given by Commissioner Lord Elgin to burn the palace, which was carried out over three days leaving the garden destroyed. It fell into ruins, marking a tragic chapter in Chinese history.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the government has attached great importance to the protection and utilization of the ruins. Thanks to years of restoration efforts, the park has taken shape and most of the hills and watershed areas have been restored to their original state. There are hundreds of thousands of lush trees and a gorgeous profusion of seasonal flowers. A few landscaping structures have been rebuilt and restored to their former glory, and some important sites have undergone protective renovation. As a result, a cluster of sites centering on the European Buildings has formed, becoming a beautiful historical and cultural center and tourist Top China travel Destinations.
