1-hour easy route in the Summer Palace

🌸I've always heard that the Summer Palace is the pearl of Beijing's royal gardens. This time, I came to experience it myself, and it really lives up to its reputation! 🌿Strolling along Kunming Lake, with the breeze blowing and the sparkling water, I felt like I had traveled back in time. 🏰 📸Recommended photo spots: • 🌉Seventeen-Arch Bridge: The golden light shining through the arches at sunset is simply stunning! • 🏯Tower of Buddhist Incense: Standing on Longevity Hill, you can overlook the entire Kunming Lake with a wide view. • 🎨Long Corridor: The longest corridor in the world, with each painting vividly depicting a story. 🗺️Travel tips: • Enter from the New Palace Gate, walk all the way to the Seventeen-Arch Bridge, then take a boat ride on the lake, and finally exit from the East Gate. The route is very smooth. • 🍂If you come in autumn, be sure to see the red leaves, which cover the mountains and are colorful. 💰Money-saving tips: • 🎟️The ice rink is expected to open in early January 2025, depending on the ice conditions on the lake! • 🚶‍♀️The park is very large, so it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes and take your time to explore. No need to rush to take the electric car. 💡Tips: • 📸For photography, it is recommended to bring a wide-angle lens, as the Tower of Buddhist Incense and the Seventeen-Arch Bridge are both great for photos. • 🍴Prices in the park are relatively high, so you can bring your own snacks and water. 🌸In short, the Summer Palace is a place worth visiting again and again, with different beautiful scenery waiting for you to discover in every season! 🌿I want to come back next time to experience the tranquility and beauty. 🏞️
