The Summer Palace: A Royal Garden Marvel in Beijing

When visiting Beijing, the Summer Palace is a must-see destination. It is not just a tourist attraction but a treasure trove of traditional Chinese garden artistry. Entering through the East Palace Gate, you are greeted by the Long Corridor, a 700-meter-long walkway that resembles a colorful ribbon connecting various scenic spots within the Summer Palace. The vivid paintings of characters, pavilions, and landscapes on the corridor are breathtakingly lifelike. Strolling along Kunming Lake, feeling the gentle breeze and admiring the ancient architecture along the shore, brings an unparalleled sense of tranquility. When sunlight illuminates the golden roof of the Tower of Buddhist Incense, the dazzling brilliance seems to symbolize the majesty of ancient royalty, inspiring awe in every visitor. Every corner of Beijing's Summer Palace is worth savoring, and it will forever shine brightly in the history of Chinese and global garden design.
