Visual Beijing

Beijing is a city with a rich cultural heritage. The embodiment of cultural heritage is not only carried by the artificial landscape, but also carried by its natural landscape, such as the Summer Palace, the Old Summer Palace (Yuanmingyuan), the Temple of Heaven, Xiangshan Park, Xishan Park, etc. These landmarks and attractions are the full embodiment of "the unity of nature", that is, nature's broad heart accepts the idea of the moderation of the nation, or small human beings revere the greatness of nature. Although Beijing is only part of a larger culture, it is worth it to start or stop in Beijing on your journey!#beijing

Step into imperial elegance at the Summer Palace in Beijing 🌳🏯—where ancient charm meets scenic lakeside beauty! Wander beautifully landscaped gardens, discover ornate halls, and soak in the serenity of Kunming Lake, all in a hassle-free visit you can scan your way into. 🗺️ Start your day early—the gates open at 6:00 AM (or 6:30 AM in winter), making tranquil mornings perfect for lakeside strolls and fewer crowds. Use the East Gate at No. 19, Gongmeng Road for a smooth entry. Head straight to the Long Corridor for exquisite painted beams, then stroll up Longevity Hill for panoramic palace views (top insta-worthy spot: shoot from the hill overlooking Kunming Lake!). Don’t miss the Marble Boat—a unique photo op especially in soft morning light. Relax by the lake’s edge for postcard-worthy reflections—early hours capture fewer tourists in your shots! If time allows, rent a paddle boat for a gentle lake cruise. ⏰ Visiting tip: Entry is scan-and-go, no waiting in ticket lines. Keep your digital ticket handy. The admission fee is 60 CNY. With extended spring/summer hours (until 8:00 PM), the golden hour is perfect for dreamy sunset pics. 💡 Precautions: The grounds are vast—wear comfy shoes and bring water. Avoid peak hours (late morning & early afternoon) for smoother exploring. In colder months, layer up—the lakeside breeze can get chilly. #Beijing #SummerPalace #HistoricChina #PalaceViews #TravelTips
