Description:
The Summer Palace dates from the 12th century, but its greatest splendor came with the Manchu dynasty and, in particular, with the Empress Dowager, Cixi. After the emperor's death from opium addiction, Cixi became one of the most powerful women in Chinese history. While attention is given to the design and architectural features of Summer Palace, the driving force of the story will illustrate aspects of daily life during the prime of the palace.
