The Royal Garden of China, the Summer Palace

Summer Palace Yesterday's wind and rain accompanied by bouts of toothache, I slept in a daze. When I opened the curtains, the sun was shining outside. Someone said that the blue sky and white clouds should not be wasted. After various threats and inducements, I reluctantly got up and went to the unsummoned Summer Palace. Let me talk about the traffic in the capital. Private cars are not to mention restricted and inconvenient to park. The subway is very convenient and accessible in all directions. There are many shared bicycles, which are basically orderly. The bus to the outside of the Fifth Ring Road actually has no air conditioning, which seems a bit stingy in the hot summer. The city bus has a special ticket seat. I thought it was a bit redundant, but seeing people willingly give up their seats for the elderly, it is helpful to improve the national quality. At least I feel embarrassed to squint and pretend to sleep against the window. After getting out of the subway, I followed the crowd into the North Palace Gate without asking. The four major continents show the realm of Tibetan Buddhism. There are people everywhere, and along the way, strange stones are piled up, cypresses are green, and the rockery is full of people like watching Monkey Mountain. The shy look, the distant look, the chest-holding heart look, all kinds of enchanting. The stone path behind Wanshou Mountain should be a good place for this tour. The ancient pines are covered with dark green wild grass. Suddenly the sunlight pours down, and a pool of clear blue lake water suddenly appears, and thousands of pink lotus leaves near the shore are distant. Walking all the way just for a place designated by Chacha, the Long Corridor starts from the Moon Inviting Gate in the east and ends at the Stone Pavilion in the west. The corridor pillars are exquisitely rich and magnificent. Along the way, I keep pointing out the exquisite paintings of landscapes, flowers, birds, and characters on the beams. I watch the Three Kingdoms and people appreciate Liaozhai. However, the flow of people comes and goes, and the more than 700 meters walk is difficult and stumbling. Boating on Kunming Lake, looking at Wanshou Mountain from a distance, the Seventeen-Arch Bridge, the boat travels and the scenery changes, hundreds of stone lions on the bridge are mixed into a sea of people and are not visible. 🗺Location: No. 19, Xinjiangongmen Road, Haidian District 🚌Transportation: Self-driving has public connections, Xinjiangongmen, Beigongmen, and West Gate can all park. Subway Beigongmen Station Bus Summer Palace Station can be reached 🎫Tickets: Pay attention to the off-peak season, 20 in the off-peak season, 30 in the peak season ⚓The island cruise is all 20 yuan/person, and some gardens need to buy tickets separately, enter as needed, and do not recommend buying joint tickets. 👣Tour: Enter the Summer Palace from Beigongmen Station of the subway and you can tour along this route, Beigongmen--Suzhou Street--Four Major Continents--Danning Hall--Harmony Garden--Dehe Garden--Leshou Hall--Long Corridor (from the Moon Inviting Gate in the east to the Stone Pavilion in the west)--Paiyun Hall--Buddha Incense Pavilion--Stone Boat. Boating on Kunming Lake, looking at Wanshou Mountain from a distance, the Seventeen-Arch Bridge, if it is sunset, the golden light penetrates the hole, it is particularly spectacular. Slow walking and watching takes about four hours. 🥳There are also the East Palace Gate circular route, the East Palace Gate to the North Palace Gate route, and the New Palace Gate to the East Palace Gate route. The Summer Palace has never been short of tourists. The royal garden has many beautiful sceneries and is suitable for slow appreciation. A long corridor can take more than an hour.
