The Summer Palace (Beijing)

#chinatravel The Summer Palace is a serene retreat filled with lakes, gardens, pavilions, and palaces, once used by the Qing emperors to escape the summer heat. Kunming Lake and Longevity Hill form a beautiful natural setting, enhanced by classical Chinese landscaping. A boat ride or stroll along the Long Corridor provides a peaceful experience away from the city’s bustle. It’s not just a park—it’s a living piece of history showcasing Qing Dynasty elegance and artistry.
