Yuanmingyuan is located in the northwest suburbs of Beijing, adjacent to the Summer Palace. It consists of Yuanmingyuan, Changchun Garden and Wanchun Garden, also known as the Three Yuanmingyuan Gardens.

summer Palace

Summer Palace [Emperor's Back Garden]

The Summer Palace is the most completely preserved royal garden today, and the royal gardens in the north reflect their generous characteristics. The water of Kunming Lake is very clear and the view is vast. The murals on the corridor are the most classic.

Lotus and goldfish are particularly beautiful in summer, and the snow scenery in deep winter is also very beautiful.

We really don't understand Beijing without a tour guide. It's like visiting a park, haha

Every picture of the Summer Palace after the snow is a blockbuster

play routes

Entering the garden from the East Palace Gate, Renshou Hall-Dehe Garden-Yulan Hall-Yiyun Hall-Leshou Hall-Promenade (walk 1/2 to the Paiyun Gate), take a boat at the Paiyun Gate and arrive at Tongniu on the other bank of Kunming Lake, then take the Six Bridges on the West Embankment to enjoy the scenery along the way.

At the end of the West Embankment is the promenade (walk the other 1/2), and then we go to Paiyun Gate again. Then we go to Wanshou Mountain to visit Paiyun Hall and Foxiang Pavilion Scenic Area. Going down Wanshou Mountain is Suzhou Street, and finally out of Beigong Gate.

Or enter the East Palace Gate, and then Renshou Hall-Yelü Chucai Temple-Zhichun Pavilion-walk back to the Dehe Garden Theater (you need to buy a ticket, you don't have to go)-Leshou Hall (Shuimu Self-Affinity)-Promenade-Middle Painting Tour-Shifang-walk back to Paiyun Gate, go up the mountain to Paiyun Hall (you need to buy a ticket)-Foxiang Pavilion-Wisdom Sea-go down the mountain to Suzhou Street (you need to buy a ticket)-Beigongmen Exit the Summer Palace. In this way, you can see most of the attractions, including the main Hall of Benevolence and Longevity, Promenade, Stone Boat, Foxiang Pavilion and Suzhou Street in the Summer Palace.

Tips for playing

Count the time. Apart from eating and sightseeing for about 7 hours, we also listened to the tour guide for 7 hours. The picture when we drove back from the car around 16.30, we also took a look at the appearance of Tsinghua University and Peking University. The dream of those years, now it seems that I have to rely on my children, haha

Summary: I actually didn't dare to think that the trip to two parks in one day would go so smoothly. I especially thank you to Miss Basda's tour guide for giving us a small gift. Thank you for working hard. The most important thing is that the price is cheap and there are tour guides. No tour guide really can't understand this place in Beijing. Before I came to the park, my impression of this place was closely related to the plot of the TV series, but after a professional said it, hey, I understand. haha
