Lesser-Known Ways to Enjoy the Summer Palace

Spring in the Summer Palace is so beautiful, and there are more tourists. How can you avoid the crowds when bringing children to the Summer Palace and have a leisurely and enjoyable time? The answer is boating! Entering from the South Ruyi Gate is the least crowded. After crossing the Xiuyi Bridge, you will arrive right at the Xiuyi Bridge Pier, where you can take a boat to the Opposite Oufang Pier. The whole trip takes 20 minutes, with beautiful scenery along the way, clear ripples on the water, and a great mood. Children are of course happy to take a boat, full of curiosity all the way. There are not many people on the boat, allowing for a multi-angle experience and feeling. The breeze is cool, and spring in Beijing is just beautiful! Getting off the boat at the Opposite Oufang Pier leads you to the Long Corridor. Follow the corridor to the right and exit through the East Palace Gate to end the wonderful trip to the Summer Palace. Boat ride: 40 RMB per person Summer Palace ticket: 30 RMB per person
