颐和园
Summer Palace
The Summer Palace consists of Wanshou Mountain, Kunming Lake, temples, pavilions and waterfront promenades to form a broad royal garden landscape. The focus of the tour is not just a single building, but the continuous changes in the courtyard, mountain topography and borrowed scenery: the enclosed space will suddenly turn to the lake, and the elevated trails will open up a broad view of western Beijing.

Practical notes
It is best to choose a route before entering the park. If time is limited, you can focus on visiting the East Palace Gate, the promenade and the lakeshore; you can also add Wanshou Mountain, Suzhou Street or seasonal cruises to the complete route. The park is large and has many steps, so you should wear shoes suitable for long-distance walking.
