Summer Palace

#chinatrip Visiting the Summer Palace was an incredible experience! The vast gardens, beautiful lakes, and stunning palaces are breathtaking. The rich history and intricate architecture make it a must-see. Despite the summer crowds, the expansive grounds provide plenty of space to explore and find peaceful spots. The Long Corridor, with its detailed paintings, and the Marble Boat are highlights. Renting a boat on Kunming Lake offers a unique perspective of the palace. The grounds are well-maintained, and the entry fee is fair given the vastness and beauty of the site. Highly recommend bringing water and comfortable shoes for a full day of exploring this historical gem. Don't miss this enchanting escape in Beijing!
