Throughout history, few ancient historic sites have completely avoided damage, some even suffered complete damage. At the beginning of this period, let’s enjoy a section of video: Yuanmingyuan.
How are you feeling when seeing the destruction of “the garden of gardens”, yuanmingyuan?
Do you think it necessary to take measures to restore and preserve it?
There are so many historic sites which need repairing and preserving and in this part we’ll learn to write a proposal for saving and protecting a building.
Part A: Reading

Apart from shisanling, which is the most famous Ming Tomb? (Xiaoling.)
How many Qing emperors were buried in Hebei Province? (Nine.)
