The Summer Palace, Beijing

The Summer Palace influences the mind into creating imagery of picnics and lazy bumble bees in the sun, blooming roses and a warm summer breeze. Visiting in winter left a lasting impression, with the sunset reflecting off of the iced lake as the air became more and more cold. Beautiful. #smelltheroses #christmastrip #happynewyear #wintergetaway #awesomepic #nationalpark #naturalwonders #summervacation #hikingtrails #hotelstay #urbanexplorer

The Summer Palace Promenade

Here’s my quick guide to discovering Beijing’s iconic chill-out zone: the Summer Palace Promenade 🌳🏯 If you’re into ancient vibes, lakeside walks, and legendary gardens, this spot is a must-see! Must-See Place: The Summer Palace Promenade Location: Haidian, Beijing, China, 100000 Opening Hours: Year-round, open all day My top tip: If the weather’s moody — cloudy or rainy — the palace grounds look super atmospheric, perfect for photos with classic Chinese architecture in the background. Stroll through Zhichunting Park for a dose of tranquility and really soak in the outdoor cultural landscape. Even when it’s sunny, the Promenade offers shade, so you won’t overheat (bonus: epic tree-lined paths!). Expect ancient buildings, lots of greenery, and amazing lake views. Travel Tips: Getting around: Hop on Metro Line 4 and get off at Beigongmen Station (North Palace Gate) for direct access. It’s faster and way less hassle than taxis. Food rec: Grab classic Beijing snacks from small local vendors near the entrance — look out for jianbing (savory crepes) and fresh fruit carts. Best hours: Go early for thin crowds, or late afternoon if you want mellow vibes and golden lighting for photos. Money hack: Entrance is mostly free for the promenades, but bring cash for boat rides or garden tickets. The architecture here has legit wow-factor, so don’t forget your camera. Rain or shine, The Summer Palace Promenade is pure Beijing magic! #BeijingSummer #ChinaTravel #GardenGoals
