[2025 Shanghai Restaurant] Travel Guide for Summer Palace (Updated Apr)

Fantastic experience! Visited the Badaling Great Wall: - Recommend the toboggan going both up and down the wall. Saves a huge climb and the ride down is fun! - Visited off peak season (March) and found there was little crowding or waiting in lines. However, dress warm! The wind can be freezing! Summer Palace: - You need at least 4 hours to fully appreciate this! - Avoid the tour guides selling private tours at the gate. They try and rush you through too fast! Temple of Heaven: - Gorgeous!! Can be done in 2-3 hours. Jingshan Park: - Don't miss this, it's very relaxing and only costs 2 yuan!! Bei-hai park is right next door and is also worth the walk. Their is a hutong surrounding this area if you want to take a stroll.

Fancy recommendations: Water chestnut plum trotter ring This dish cleverly combines tradition and creativity, using high-quality pork trotter rings, paired with seasonal water chestnuts and sweet and sour plums. After a long time of stewing, the trotter rings become full of collagen, with a soft and glutinous texture; the addition of water chestnuts adds a crisp texture to the dish, while the sweet and sour plums bring a unique flavor to the dish, which is really memorable. Rice cake home-cooked Min Dong big yellow croaker The big yellow croaker from the Min Dong sea area is firm and delicious. It is cooked with Q-bomb rice cakes.

It is a double enjoyment of vision and taste. Dry-fried prawn balls The large prawn balls are processed by dry-frying technique, and the meat inside is firm and chewy. The dry-frying method retains the freshness and sweetness of the shrimp to the greatest extent, while incorporating a moderate amount of spices, making the taste more rich and three-dimensional, and is one of the highlights of the Summer Palace.

The salty and fresh soup head is obviously made with pork bone ham soup, which is thick and silky and makes people praise. Water chestnut plum hoof ring Let me explain first that I don't usually eat pig's feet. I didn't expect to be a fan of this pig's feet! As a classic Cantonese dish, the plum and pig's feet are cleverly matched. The sour and sweet plum neutralizes the greasiness of the pig's feet and brings a different unique flavor. It is fragrant, soft and rotten, fat but not greasy, and very appetizing! The water chestnut of "Water Eight Immortals" in autumn is also added, which is very thoughtful.

So it can make the skin crispy and fragrant, the color is red and bright, the meat is tender and delicate, and the aroma is overflowing as soon as it is torn open, and the meat will burst into juice~ Dry-burned prawn balls Another hard dish! The huge prawn balls are full, almost the same size as a child's fist. The red and red dry-burned sauce is attached to the prawn balls, and the appearance is bright and oily. The entrance is sour, sweet and spicy, with a bit of Thai style, the shrimp meat is really too Q-bomb, you can simply play table tennis! Soy Sauce King Fried Noodles People who have seen the movie "God of Cookery" know that the fried noodles in Cantonese cuisine are not simple. Although it is a common food in the market, it takes a lot of effort to fry it well. Office workers are hungry and come here. This soy sauce king fried noodles is the most suitable to soothe your clamoring stomach. Dry and crispy, oily and delicious, the moment you enter your mouth, there is a feeling of "finally waiting for you". In the autumn, the air is high and the air is high, come and taste the new Cantonese cuisine of the Summer Palace.

The hotel's Chinese executive chef, Zeng Weiqiao, carefully created this new menu. He followed the traditional Cantonese cooking skills, paid attention to the use of oil and fire, and incorporated local characteristics and local ingredients to present exquisite delicacies such as olive glass prawn balls, Yihe beef ribs, Siamese flavored treasure crabs, and New Year cake home roast Min Dong big yellow croaker.

This year is the eighth consecutive year that the Summer Palace has been recommended by the "Shanghai Michelin Guide". Guests are in a quiet and elegant dining environment, enjoying the refreshing experience brought by authentic Cantonese flavors. Olive glass prawn balls The chef uses the classic Cantonese dish "Glass Prawn Balls" as a prototype, selects large and full tiger prawns, and stir-fries them with traditional Guangdong seasoning black olives at high temperature, making the whole dish full of wok flavor and exuding a unique salty fragrance. The prawn balls are wrapped in slurry, the appearance is crystal clear like glass, the meat is firm and chewy, and it is refreshing and delicious. Yihe beef ribs This dish, named after the alias of the Summer Palace, is inspired by "Jiangnan Wenhuo Beef" in Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine. The chef combines Cantonese braised and Jiangnan Wenhuo technology to make the evenly distributed beef ribs stewed to be soft and not woody, and then seasoned with black pepper, and maltose is used to collect the juice at the end. The whole dish is tender and juicy, and it is fragrant and delicious. Pan-fried sand ginger sunflower chicken Sunflower chicken has the characteristics of crispy skin and smooth meat, and rich chicken flavor. Different from its traditional white-cut method, the chef uses Cantonese shrimp paste to marinate the chicken, and then pan-fry it until it is attractive in color, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is then paired with fragrant sand ginger, giving the whole dish a rich taste and flavor.
