Some collectors in Beijing said that when they visited abroad, they saw countless China cultural relics, many of which came from Yuanmingyuan.

Located in Fontainebleau Palace, 70 kilometers southeast of Paris, France, there is a "China Palace", and all the exhibits in it are from Yuanmingyuan. On the roof of the largest exhibition room in the palace, there are three giant detailed and colorful Buddha statues, and the appreciation seal of Qianlong is clearly visible. On the front of the hall is a screen inlaid with jewels and palace hills, and on the left are two large treasure chests. Through the glass, you can see carved cultural relics such as coral, Tian Huangshi and white jade.

Some famous museums and libraries in Europe also collect the cultural relics of Yuanmingyuan. The panorama of Yuanmingyuan is now kept in the Paris Museum.

The British Library has a part of the Atlas of Sikuquanshu originally stored in the Wen Yuan Pavilion of Yuanmingyuan, as well as many porcelain, gold and jade articles of Yuanmingyuan.
