When the British and French allied forces burned the Yuanmingyuan, it was intended to raze it to the ground. However, due to the large area of Yuanmingyuan, scattered scenic spots and vast waters, some remote places and scenic spots in the water survived. According to the winter survey in the 12th year of Tongzhi (1873), there are still 13 buildings in the park, such as Penglai Yaotai in Yuanmingyuan, Spring Scenery in Wuling, Zangzhouwu, Dagongmen and Zhengjue Temple in Wanchunyuan.

When Yuanmingyuan was still burning, Prince Yixin, who was ordered to stay in Beijing, agreed to all the conditions of the invaders. Soon, the Tianjin Treaty text was exchanged with Britain, France and Russia, and the Beijing Treaty was signed.
