Who burned Yuanmingyuan?

In fact, the Allied forces of the eight countries and the Allied forces of Britain and France have been burned. The complete destruction of Yuanmingyuan was carried out twice.

The first time was in 1860. After occupying Tianjin, the British and French allied forces entered Beijing, looting and burning the imperial garden Yuanmingyuan in the western suburb of Beijing. However, after the renovation of the Qing Dynasty, some of the buildings survived.

The second time was in 1900, when the Eight Power Allied forces captured Beijing, Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu fled to Xi'an in a hurry. The guards and bandits near Yuanmingyuan began to loot here. Warlords and bureaucrats took the opportunity to seize the remaining stones in the garden: Wang Huaiqing, commander of the capital garrison, sent people to demolish the inner and outer walls of Yuanmingyuan and build his own Dayuan with the stones; Zhang zuolin, who was far away in the northeast, also pulled the stones from Yuanmingyuan to build his own mausoleum. After 40 years of survival, the remaining buildings were destroyed again. Later, with the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the civil war and the war of aggression, coupled with the migration of population and many other reasons, Yuanmingyuan was completely destroyed.
