From a historical perspective, it was definitely the right decision when Empress Dowager Cixi used the funds for building warships to repair the Summer Palace.
Today, this garden still earns over a billion yuan in ticket sales each year and has solved employment issues for many people.
If the money back then had been used to build warships, given the character of the late Qing officials, they would have all become targets for the Japanese Navy!
Currently, the Summer Palace has 1,190 staff members, 1,118 retired personnel, and an annual expenditure of 510 million yuan. These are all data published on the official website.
