About Marble Boat.
Empress Dowager Cixi (1835-1908) paid for this extravagant folly with funds meant for the modernization of the Imperial Navy.The superstructure of the boat is made of wood painted white to look like marble.
Together with Tang Dinasty Empress Wu Zetian, Cixi is remembered as one of China's most powerful women. Having born the Xianfeng emperor's son as an imperial concubine, Cixi later seized power as regent to both the Tongzhi and Guangxu emperors (the son and nephew respectively).Cixi prevented Guangxu from implementing some reforms and ,in her alliance with the Boxer Rebellion,paved the way fot the fall of the Qing Dinasty in 1911.
