A 1:1 rebuilt of the original Beijing yuan ming yuan. The original palace was burned in 1860. Here is the historical description from Widipedia.org:
The Old Summer Palace (圆明园; 圓明園; Yuánmíng Yuán), known in Chinese as Yuanming Yuan ("Gardens of Perfect Brightness"), and originally called the Imperial Gardens (御园; 御園; Yù Yuán), was a complex of palaces and gardens in present-day Haidian District, Beijing, China. It is located 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) northwest of the walls of the former Imperial City section of Beijing. Constructed in the 18th and early 19th centuries, the Old Summer Palace where the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing dynasty and his successors resided and handled state affairs; the Forbidden Citywas used for formal ceremonies. The Old Summer Palace was known for its extensive collection of garden and building architecture and other works of art. It was also called the "Garden of Gardens" (万园之园; 萬園之園; wàn yuán zhī yuán) in its heyday.
In 1860, during the Second Opium War, as the Anglo-French expedition force relentlessly approached Beijing, two British envoys, a journalist for The Times and a small escort of British and Indian troopers were sent to meet Prince Yiunder a flag of truce[1] to negotiate a Qing surrender. Meanwhile, the French and British troops reached the palace and conducted extensive looting and destruction.[2] Later on, as news emerged that the delegation sent for negotiation was imprisoned and tortured, resulting in 20 deaths,[3] the British High Commissioner to China, Lord Elgin, retaliated by ordering the complete destruction of the palace, which was then carried out by British and French troops.
