Artificial lake looks like a small sea, and all these big hills are made of excavated ground. Forethought and accuracy of medieval chinese landscape design could impress anyone. Come for a whole day.
Very nice Chinese palace. One of the best historical place in Beijing. The view from the lake is awesome in the morning !
Drop by beautiful and nearby Aman Resort for an afternoon tea. Come on a cool autumn day and smell the history in the air.
SUMMER PLACE AN IMPERIAL GARDEN - World Heritage UNESCO The Summer Palace in Beijing first built in 1750, is a masterpiece of Chinese landscape garden design.

The Beigongmen subway station is closest if you use the North gate. Less crowded as well.
Wouw.. It's a wonder of Emperor Qianlong. The scenery is. gorgious, m'over in sunset. W' BrightRed&GoldPalace, TheTemples are set againts an exotic stunning view of KunmingLake&TheForest surrounding
Stunning. Architecture, the detailing of the buildings and so on.. everything beyond perfection.
Nice place for a walk early in the morning
If its busy and you're struggling to get in, use one if the many side entrances avoiding the main gate. We used the north entrance and didn't have to queue at all, even on National Day!
beautiful, beautiful beautiful.. i spent there some great moments.. cool place to chill
The Summer Palace, a great place to visit in the winter!
Wonderful palace
颐和园-巨大的皇家园林也是清朝的行宫
1) it's a very big park, plan your route carefully in advance; 2) best to visit at sunset or in snow
Grab some foods at the entry and head out for a hike! Plenty of space to get lost and picnic! Also, some amazing old trails and bridges to explore.
Its beauty is beyond my description!
Winter can also be a good season to visit the Summer Palace, which will be all covered in white and has a stunning look. You can also skate on the ice of the Kunming Lake when it's extremely cold.
Damn it's way too far
The most beautiful place to visit in Peking.
