Summer Palace

A famous royal summer palace built at Qing Dynasty. there are five gates entering the palace from which the eastern gate is the most popular to tourists. However, you need to climb up to the hill if you enter from northern gate that should give you different an experience. It's worth to spent whole day to immerse yourself in the hidden stories of the Qing imperial family, and to appoint an experienced local guide if possible.

My favourite place in Beijing!! Ive been twice and would go again in a heartbeat. I go through the northern entrance to see the back palaces. then head towards the temple of buddhist incense which has a back entrance, then head down to the lake and go to the island. amazing time. took me about 3-4 hours each time. not great food there, would suggestto bring your own.

Going to summer palace requires one to have a lot of energy because of climbing up and down plus walking. Summer Palace offers a lot of activities while in the mountain such as boating and others. It is also important to rent an audio set to fully understand its history in whatever language you’re comfortable with, because going there without understanding its history, wont let you appreciate its unique beauty behind it.

I spent 5 and a half hours walking around the Summer Palace and I still didnt get to see everything - that is how massive the Summer Palace is. its like a huge national park and a MUST SEE! But make sure to wear comfotable walking shoes! The Summer Palace is a place thats great for relaxing, hiking and even jogging! If I lived in Beijing this would be my weekend relaxing spot!

Summer Palace is a must-see! So many great trails for walking, beautiful gradens and buildings! The climb up to the palace is a lot of stairs and very steep, but well worth it.

Absolutely loved the vibes of the Summer Palace. Really nice place to just relax, enjoy the beautiful scenery and a boat ride. the view from the Buddha Pagoda is breathtaking, just as the marbel boat

The history alone of this palace is beautilful!!! Consisting of more than 9,000 rooms and spread over 250 acres, this huge palace complex was built in the 15th century and later extensively renovated and restored during the Qing Dynasty in the 18th century.

The Summer Palace, the imperial garden of the Qing Dynasty in China, formerly known as the Qingyi Garden, is located in the western suburbs of Beijing. The Summer Palace is a landscape garden based on the West Lake of Hangzhou and drawing on the design techniques of gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. It is also the most complete imperial palace and imperial garden preserved. It has the reputation of "Royal Garden Museum". In spring, the weather in Beijing is rare and good on the first day after the cold air passes. The sky is blue, flowers are in full bloom, and the Summer Palace is picturesque and lingering.

10:00 Let's go to the Summer Palace. Naturally, the subway in Beijing is not new, but the security is very strict, and the security of Shanghai Railway Station has a competing. More than an hour later, we entered the large and beautiful Summer Palace. The Summer Palace is the reconstruction of the Summer Palace in the Qing Dynasty. There are many gates. Needless to say, take a look at these pictures. Suzhou Street with Jiangnan flavor, four major Tibetan-style Buddhist temples, quiet Kunming Lake, elegant corridor and magnificent Buddhist incense pavilion. These are the scenery of the Summer Palace. We are all fascinated by them and envy the royal family of that time to live here in such a place as Hetaoyuan. Unfortunately, the temperature soared to 35 degrees Celsius, in the burning sun, we did not have much energy to continue playing. However, after seeing the Foxiang Pavilion, the whole back hill is over. After we have seen the back hill, we have visited the most important buildings in the Summer Palace. Down the hill, is the famous corridor - more than 700 meters, is the longest corridor in the world. There are allusions to the Dongdi. In fact, the original name here is Xidi. A "Xidi poem" by Qianlong explains why the name of Dongdi was renamed "Xidi today is Dongdi. How can the name ever be confirmed? The lake is a thousand hectares of green and the walls are covered with shadows. New Angelica comes out of the spur business and wild Angelica comes out of the treadmill. Leave the land between the embankment and the wall, divert and plant rice to see the boundaries. After the corridor, we went to Wenchang Pavilion. After passing the gate under it, we went out of the new palace gate and left the Summer Palace.

A huge park with a small museum. The park is centered around a large lake. Went in springtime and all the trees were blossoming like crazy. Gorgeous place for an afternoon stroll, maybe even a first date.
