Xiyang Lou are ruins of 18th-century European-style imperial buildings on the grounds of the Yuanmingyuan Park (the Old Summer Palace) in Beijing, China. They cover an area of about 5.5 hectares, occupying only around 1.5% the land of the whole park. In the northeast corner of the park, the buildings' heir location is not significant compared to the other buildings in the park, They become a landmark of Yuanmingyuan Park because of its charm of being incomplete.
