Let's visit the Summer Palace, a large park in Beijing that the emperor gifted to his mother!

The Summer Palace in Beijing was built and presented by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty in the 18th century to celebrate his mother's longevity. It is one of China's major tourist attractions, comparable to the Great Wall, and its area is more than twice that of the Imperial Palace in Japan! What is even more surprising is that Kunming Lake, which occupies three-quarters of the garden, is man-made‼️ China really does things on a different scale! You can buy tickets on the day, but if you definitely want to get in, it is recommended to book in advance! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Facility Name: Summer Palace Address: No. 19, Xinjian Gongmen Road, Haidian District, Beijing Opening Hours: Peak Season (April 1st ~ October 31st) 6:00~19:00, Closing Time 20:00 Off-Season (November 1st ~ March 31st) 6:30~18:00, Closing Time 19:00 Admission Fee: 30 yuan (on-season), 20 yuan (off-season) Combo Ticket: 60 yuan (on-season), 50 yuan (off-season) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
