The Winter Exclusive "Blue Hour" at the Summer Palace is here!

The "Blue Hour" at the Winter Summer Palace offers an ultimate romantic experience. The "Blue Hour" refers to about 20 minutes before sunrise and after sunset, when the light is quietly blue, and the sky transitions delicately—an excellent time for photography. Strolling along Kunming Lake, the sky is dyed a dreamy blue-purple, and the lake's reflection is serene and deep, a color unique to this season. In the distance, the Seventeen-Arch Bridge shines like a brilliant jewel "embedded" in the blue-purple world, with rippling water creating a dreamlike scene. Visitors sit quietly on benches by the shore, enjoying this beautiful moment, as time seems to stand still, leaving only romance and warmth. It is recommended to arrive 15-20 minutes before sunrise or after sunset, reduce exposure appropriately to preserve the sky's layered details, keep warm in the cold weather, and you might even encounter unique snowy scenes. Come to the Summer Palace and encounter this romance!
