[2025 Beijing Attraction] Travel Guide for Summer Palace (Updated Jun)

📍Itinerary Introduction Day 1️⃣—MUJI Hotel➡️Jingshan➡️Shichahai ❇️Capital Airport Line👍 Take the Airport Line from the airport and transfer to another line. Muji is right opposite Qianmen Station. It is convenient and there is no traffic jam. The fare is 25 yuan, and those under 1.3 meters are free. ❇️Jingshan I originally planned to climb the mountain to see the Forbidden City, and the guide said that I could quickly reach the top by entering from the west gate~ 💣Took a taxi from the hotel, the driver said there was a restriction and we could only park nearby, so we drove around for half an hour and got off the car and drove for nearly an hour before we arrived at Jingshan😮💨 ❇️Shichahai The original plan was to have dinner at Shichahai and stroll around, but it turned out to be the driver's favorite Old Beijing Shabu Shabu 💣We took a taxi from Jingshan to Shichahai, and the driver said it was under control, and asked if we wanted to eat. He kept introducing Old Beijing Shabu Shabu, and asked him to stop at the nearest subway station. He also said that we couldn't get in after queuing for half an hour at the subway station, so we ended up going to Shabu Shabu😡 💣The soup base of the shabu shabu is spicy, and it costs 50 yuan to switch to clear soup😒, you know the taste 🙂↕️, then I read the comments and found that there were many people who had the same experience as us😮💨 Day 2️⃣ Great Hall of the People➡️Tiananmen➡️National Grand Theater➡️Dashilan➡️Four Seasons Folk Entertainment ❇️All attractions around Tiananmen Square require reservations. It is easy to make reservations for the National People's Congress and the square. If you can't make reservations for the National Museum, just buy exhibition tickets. It is very difficult to make reservations for the city tower. The above are all just following the crowd. The security check takes nearly an hour. It will be faster if you don’t bring a bag‼ ️Remember to bring your ID card‼ ️ ❇️National Grand Theatre👍 Direct subway access, free performances and explanations, architectural design, few people to take photos Day 3️⃣ Mutianyu Great Wall➡️Bird's Nest & Water Cube➡️Yuxiandu➡️Youbang Hotel ❇️ Mutianyu Great Wall 👍 There are few people and beautiful scenery. Take the cable car to No. 14 and then go to No. 6 to play on the slide. It's quite fun! ❇️Yuxiandu👍 Palace banquet, several hours of time travel, makeup, performances, atmosphere~ ❇️Beijing Youbang Hotel In Haidian District, the new hotel is clean and has family rooms~ Day 4️⃣ Summer Palace ➡️Tsinghua University ➡️Wukesong Business District ❇️Summer Palace 🧑🧑🧒🧒There are so many people that it is difficult to take a photo. Please ask the tour guide to explain, professional and high-quality👍 ❇️Tsinghua University Appointment is required. For Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan documents, please send an email to make an appointment. 🧑🧑🧒🧒Wait for one hour to enter, please ask the students in school to explain Day 5️⃣Return home 💡Notes: 🔺Make appointments for attractions in advance, don’t schedule too many times, and leave time for queuing 🔺Taxi is a lot of work and there are traffic jams. If you take the bus, the hotel should be close to the subway station. 🔺All those internet-famous streets are pretty much the same, with roast duck, preserved fruits, and fridge magnets... #BeijingAttractions #BeijingTravel #GreatBeijingAttractionsJingshanPark #SummerPalace #BeijingGoodPlaces

Traveling to Beijing was truly a bittersweet experience 😭 I didn't plan my route in advance, so when I arrived in Beijing, I was like a headless fly, wanting to go here one moment and there the next, resulting in wasting most of my time on the road. I also didn't check the opening hours of attractions beforehand, so I traveled all that way only to find they were closed—it was heartbreaking. Plus, I randomly picked a restaurant near a tourist site to eat, and the food was both expensive and terrible—I was completely miserable. But! Beijing is amazing, with deep historical heritage and a strong modern vibe. There are so many delicious foods and fun activities that you can never explore enough! Here's how to enjoy Beijing in May without any regrets~ Day 1: Arrive in Beijing → Sanlitun → Taste Beijing snacks Arrive in Beijing in the morning. I recommend choosing Beijing Capital International Airport as it's close to the city center with convenient transportation. Take the airport express train and transfer to the subway to your hotel. Staying near Xidan is ideal—transportation is convenient with everything you need in one place 🐉. After dropping off your luggage, visit Sanlitun for some shopping. It's fashionable and lively, filled with trendy shops and beautiful people, plus plenty of Instagram-worthy photo spots 📸. When you get tired, try some Beijing snacks like "baodu" (tripe) and "luzhu" (braised offal). They're delicious and will instantly make you fall in love with the city's vibrant atmosphere. Day 2: Tiananmen Square → Forbidden City → Jingshan Park Get up early, leaving around 4 AM to watch the flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square. In May, the sun rises early, so arrive early to get a good spot. Remember not to bring lighters, selfie sticks, etc., as security is strict. After the ceremony, you can visit the Memorial Hall to pay respects to Chairman Mao (dress appropriately and remain quiet). Next, visit the Forbidden City. Arrive before 9 AM to see the three main halls along the central axis before the tour groups arrive. Get an audio guide to better understand the history and stories of the palace. After exiting the Forbidden City, go to Jingshan Park. Enter through the side gate, and within 10 minutes of climbing the stairs, you'll reach Wanchun Pavilion, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Forbidden City. Day 3: Badaling Great Wall → Olympic Park In the morning, take subway Line 2 to Jishuitan Station, exit from Gate A or B, and walk to Deshengmen Bus Station. Take bus 877 directly to Badaling Great Wall (fare: 12 yuan). Once at the Great Wall, I recommend hiking up for the best experience of its magnificence, though cable cars are available if you get tired. Be sure to visit Haohan Slope for a photo op. Standing on the beacon tower and looking into the distance gives you an incredible sense of achievement. In the afternoon, return from the Great Wall and visit Olympic Park to see the Bird's Nest and Water Cube. During the day, you can admire their unique architectural designs, and at night when they're lit up, the red Bird's Nest and blue Water Cube create a beautiful contrast for photos. There are many food courts nearby where you can treat yourself to a nice meal. Day 4: Summer Palace → Old Summer Palace → Tsinghua and Peking Universities (photo stops) From your hotel, take subway Line 4 to Beigongmen Station and enter the Summer Palace through the North Palace Gate to avoid crowds. First, take a boat ride to the Stone Boat, enjoying the lake breeze and scenery along the way—it's incredibly relaxing. Then walk along the Long Corridor, where each painting has a story behind it. Listen to the audio guide while viewing them—it's fascinating. You can climb up to the Tower of Buddhist Incense for a panoramic view of the entire Summer Palace, but there are many stairs, so wear comfortable shoes. Exit from the East Gate of the Summer Palace, then take a taxi (about 15 yuan) to the Old Summer Palace. Enter through the East Gate, which is close to the Western Mansions ruins, and visit the Grand Waterworks ruins to experience the historical changes. Afterward, go to Tsinghua University's West Gate and Peking University's East Gate for photos. Although you can't enter the campuses, it's still nice to experience the atmosphere of these top universities from the gates. Day 5: Temple of Heaven Park → Return Home In the morning, visit the Temple of Heaven Park. Buy the 34-yuan combo ticket and enter from the South Gate. First, go to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests—the morning light is perfect for photographing the red walls and blue tiles. Be sure to experience the Echo Wall too; standing at specific spots, you can actually hear echoes from the opposite side—it's magical. After touring the Temple of Heaven, enjoy a traditional Beijing hot pot meal nearby with freshly sliced lamb and sesame sauce—it's absolutely delicious and the perfect ending to your Beijing trip. After the meal, pack your bags and prepare for your return journey.

Beijing, China, traveling alone is not difficult. Pin it and go! - The Forbidden city - Beijing Bell & Drum Towers - Temple of Heaven - Great Wall (Badaling) - Summer Palace 1. Flight tickets, accommodation - Prepare documents for return flight and accommodation for Chinese immigration. Sometimes they don't. 2. How to use the internet - Open a SIM card from Thailand to use social media. 3. Must-have apps - Alipay is used to link with Travel Card to pay for everything, shops, restaurants, subway fares, bus fares, and even paying for bicycles. - Wechat is a chat app. You can type in Thai or English. The system will translate into Chinese for you. Add to hotel to send codes, scan to order food in some restaurants. - Use Apple maps, it will be more accurate for checking routes. When you arrive in China, you will be able to use it. - Baidu maps is only in Chinese. I tried using it and it was very confusing. I had to capture the image and translate it in gg translate. - MetroMan is used to check the subway stations in each city. Choose the origin and destination. Very detailed explanation - Google Translate uses both image scanning to help read. Chinese people speak and type for you to read. Translating from images may be a bit silly or funny, but it works. 4. How to travel - If traveling in cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Changsha, I will mainly use the Metro. When you get off the station, you will arrive at the tourist attraction. - Look carefully at the exits of each station. Exiting from the wrong door can really change your life. - The subway requires bag scanning every time, every station, seriously. Drinking water must be drunk and shown off, or small alcohol sprays must be poured out. It depends on the discretion of each station. It is different at every station. - The subway closes at 22.30 / 23.00, depending on the route. - The Shanghai and Beijing Metro uses the Travel Card. You can tap it right away. You don't have to scan and pay for coins at the automatic machine. - China is very large. It takes a lot of time to travel. You have to walk a lot. Some places may require a bit of walking. We can rent a bicycle to ride. Choose the blue color and press through Hello Bike in Alipay. - If you want to call a taxi, you can press DiDi in the Alipay app as well. - High-speed rail For cross-city travel, leave on time, doors close about 5 minutes before, and arrive at the high-speed rail station about 1 hour early. The station is very big. 5. Restaurants, cafes, etc. - There are many restaurants, both in-store and on-street, mostly Chinese menus. - Most of the food is the same style, noodles, wontons, stir-fried vegetables, grilled skewers. - The price is mostly 150 baht or more per dish, but the portions are very large. Don't be dizzy, you can't finish it all. But ask to wrap it up and take it home, they will do it for you. - There are many tea and coffee shops all over the city. It looks like there are no people in front of the shop, but the queue is huge. They will let you order via WeChat, but we can smoothly walk up to the staff and ask if we can order here. We can't read Chinese. They will let us choose the menu and order for us at the counter. 6. How to spend? Scan to pay, Cash - Big cities in China are very cashless. Not a single baht is used in cash. Everything is scanned by Alipay. - But you should have some cash with you. Because sometimes the app is confused with us. Suddenly, we can't pay. 7. Chinese toilets, the real legend - If it's a modern city like Shanghai, you will be impressed. The toilets in the mall are very good. The system is fully automatic. Beijing is okay. - Some cities still have the legend of squatting. - It is recommended to go to the mall. The toilets are generally clean. There are housekeepers all the time. - There are toilets in the subway. 8. Other things to know - If you go on a holiday, there will be a lot of people. Plan well. Leave some time for yourself. - Chinese people still smoke everywhere. Sometimes it makes me angry. Carry a mask. - Carry your passport at all times. You need to use it to buy tickets to enter tourist attractions. - In the subway, there will be people taking care of people at crowded stations or during peak hours. But it's not like our country. People are ready to enter before they leave. Be prepared. - If you want a format with few people and no people, waiting is the only way to win because there are really a lot of people. #TravelEco #TravelChina #TravelChinaByYourself #TravelBeijing #Beijing

Summer Palace Address: No. 19, Xinjian Gongmen Road, Haidian District, Beijing, China #MarchGoodPlaces2025

#discoverchina The Summer Palace is an expansive and stunning destination, so be sure to allocate at least 3 to 4 hours to fully explore this incredible site. We reached the palace easily by subway, getting off at Beigongmen Station. Entering from the north side, we were immediately captivated by the charming Suzhou Street and the serene Suzhou River. A must see with beautiful structures and a lake that's so large right by the monument. It also features the world's longest corridor which is adorned with artwork of various stories and cultural references.

Hey guys, I just got back from five days in Beijing, and I have so much to share! Even though I did a lot of research beforehand, I still fell into some tourist traps. Today, I'm going to give you the lowdown, so listen up if you're planning a trip to Beijing! 👭 👀First, let's talk about the weather. The temperature in Beijing has recently been between 0 and 12°C. It's freezing in the morning and evening, with wind that feels like knives on your face, but then it gets hot enough to sweat during the day.😥 The temperature difference is really unbearable. ⭕The following attractions no longer require reservations: 1. Temple of Heaven (combined ticket 35 RMB) 2. Lama Temple (25 RMB) 3. Summer Palace (30 RMB) 4. Old Summer Palace (combined ticket 25 RMB) 5. Jingshan Park (2 RMB) 6. Prince Gong's Mansion (40 RMB) 7. Badaling Great Wall (40 RMB) ⭕Attractions that still require reservations: 1. Palace Museum (60 RMB) 2. National Museum of China (free) 3. Tiananmen Square (free) 4. Tiananmen Tower (15 RMB) 5. Chairman Mao Memorial Hall (free) 6. Great Hall of the People (free) 7. Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution (free) 8. Capital Museum (free) 9. National Museum of Natural History (free) 10. National Archaeological Museum of China (free) 11. Tsinghua University (free) Tips for Traveling in Beijing⚠️ ❗️Tip 1: The flag-raising ceremony time is not fixed; it's generally at sunrise. It is recommended to arrive 1–2 hours in advance. If you want a front-row spot, you need to line up at 3–4 am (there will be a lot of people). ❗️Tip 2: It's recommended to buy tickets for the Palace Museum in the morning, as there won't be enough time to visit in the afternoon. If you're short on time, it's recommended to visit the attractions along the central axis, which takes about 2–3 hours. ❗️Tip 3: Only flat, undamaged power banks with a capacity of no more than 20,000 mAh are allowed in the National Museum of China. ❗️Tip 4: The Badaling Great Wall section is crowded but scenic. You can take a bus or the high-speed train from Beijing North Railway Station. Mutianyu Great Wall is much less crowded, but it's farther from the city center. ❗️Tip 5: When visiting the Temple of Heaven, don't enter from the East Gate. It's recommended to enter from the South Gate and exit from the North Gate, so you can see all the most distinctive sights. ❗️Tip 6: It's not recommended to buy a combined ticket for the Summer Palace, as it's too big to cover in a day. It's recommended to visit the main attractions first, such as the Long Corridor, the Tower of Buddhist Incense, the Seventeen-Arch Bridge, and the Grand Theater. ❗️Tip 7: To visit the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, Tiananmen Tower, and the Great Hall of the People, take the subway to Tiananmen West Station and exit from Exit B. This will save you a lot of walking. ❗️Tip 9: Niujie Street mainly offers halal snacks. I found the taste average, and locals generally don't go there. If you want to try authentic Beijing cuisine, I recommend Huguosi Street. I had a pretty good time during my five days in Beijing. I booked a semi-independent tour, which was perfect for me. Find what suits you best, and you'll have a great time.

I came to Beijing for a trip with my elder sister this time. 🌽We booked this hotel. As soon as we step out of the hotel, we are on Wangfujing Pedestrian Street. It only takes 2 minutes to walk to Wangfujing Subway Station! And right beside it, we can visit Wangfujing Bookstore! This hotel is really high-end.🍐 🌶️Environment: The environment is very cozy. The only thing is that the bathroom is a bit narrow, but generally, people don't really mind that. The environment of the restaurant downstairs in the hotel is nice, and the food there tastes good too.🫐 🍅Service: When we entered the hotel, the staff helped us with our luggage. The receptionist ladies at the front desk and the cleaning aunties are all very kind. The security guard uncle at the entrance is also extremely enthusiastic. The mineral water and tea bags in the hotel are all free. Since we were in a hurry, we didn't book the breakfast.🥨 🥬Facilities: You need to swipe your card to enter the hotel, which makes me feel very safe. The rooms are all controlled by smart systems, which is really high-tech. There is also a very cute robot that can deliver takeout, which is really advanced.🍷 🍇Surroundings: It takes about 10 minutes to walk to Tiananmen Square from here, and it takes less than 10 minutes to get there by bike.

As a southerner, I wanted to experience winter in Beijing. Due to time constraints, I could only arrange a 4-day, 3-night itinerary.

When I arrived, I found that the dry cold in the north is really different from the wet cold in the south. As long as there is no wind, it is not as cold as 0°C in the south. It may also be that southerners are more resistant to the cold. I didn't use any of the warm baby, hand warmer, or heated insoles I prepared. I could even wear small leather shoes and wander around Beijing. 🧥Upper body: Thermal underwear➕Thin sweater➕Coat/Down jacket (If you go to the Great Wall, you must wear a down jacket and a hat and scarf) 👖Lower body: Thermal pants➕Jeans 🧣Other equipment: Scarf➕Hat➕Gloves.

The Summer Palace is one of the must-see attractions in Beijing. In winter, you can see the golden light shining through the hole. Sunrise and sunset are also very romantic. It is worthy of being the ceiling of the Royal Garden . ⭐️About transportation 🚇 Take Line 4, get off at Beigongmen Station, exit at D Southwest, and walk for about ten minutes ⚠️Tips: The North Ruyi Gate has the least traffic at any time, so it is recommended to enter the park through this gate during the peak season . 🗺️ Tour route Bei Ruyi Gate - Youfeng Bridge - Travel in the Painting - Buddhist Incense Pavilion - Zhichun Pavilion - Seventeen-Arch Bridge - Nanhu Island - New Palace Gate Exit . 📍Must-check-in points: 1️⃣ Youfeng Bridge The sunrise is picturesque. The pavilion is a great place to watch the sunrise and take photos. 2️⃣ Travel in the painting A place that almost no one would miss. The pavilion and corridor are 🔥check-in points, and the view is also super good 3️⃣ Buddhist Incense Pavilion The picture in the Chinese textbook is here. The terrain is high and the view is very good. After reaching the top, you can see the scenery in the park at a glance. You can also take pictures of the golden light through the Seventeen-Arch Bridge here. 4️⃣Zhichun Pavilion Want to take the same angle as in the textbook? Then come here, this is also the best place to see the Buddhist Incense Pavilion 5️⃣ Seventeen-Arch Bridge After the winter solstice, this place is packed with people every afternoon just to take pictures of the golden light through the hole that is only available during the winter solstice. 6️⃣Nanhu Island This is the best place to take photos of the golden light shining through the hole, and the moon mirror is even more beautiful for taking photos of the sunset. . 🌈Tips for playing: 👉The golden light can only be seen half a month before and after the winter solstice, and can be seen from about 3:00 to 4:30 pm every day 👉The best location for the Golden Light Hole is at the railing on the right side of the bridge.
