The Scenery Loved by the Emperor, Now Loved by Me – Summer Palace

As soon as I passed through the entrance, I was left speechless by the view. The reflection of the sky on Kunming Lake and the silhouette of Longevity Hill were so serene and beautiful that I just stood there in awe. Walking along the Long Corridor, the picturesque scenery and tranquil atmosphere slowed my steps. Someone once called it 'The Imperial Retreat,' and it truly feels like the perfect description. Escaping the bustling city, I found myself in a timeless space where I could let go and quietly connect with nature. It's a place I long to visit again. 📍 Location: No. 19, Xinjiangongmen Road, Haidian District, Beijing, China (Summer Palace)
