Encounter the beautiful scenery of the Summer Palace

⭐️Route: Enter through the Xinjian Gong Gate and exit through the East Palace Gate (the main entrance). After entering the Xinjian Gong Gate, you'll see the lake, the Foxiang Tower, and the Seventeen-Arch Bridge, and you'll be captivated by the beautiful scenery. Walk 50 meters towards the Seventeen-Arch Bridge to see the Bronze Ox. After crossing the bridge, walk along the lake to find a ticket office where you can buy boat tickets to the Stone Boat for CNY 40/person. After disembarking at the Stone Boat, walk along the Long Corridor to your right. In a few minutes, you'll reach the Painting Gallery. From there, continue along the Long Corridor towards the Foxiang Tower, Leshoutang Hall, Renshou Hall, and exit through the East Palace Gate. The easiest route to explore the Summer Palace: Enter through the Xinjian Gong Gate, see the Bronze Ox and the Seventeen-Arch Bridge, take a boat from the Nanhu Island pier to the Marble Boat/Stone Boat (disembark), visit the Stone Boat, Long Corridor, Painting Gallery, Foxiang Tower, Leshoutang Hall, Renshou Hall, and exit through the East Palace Gate. The Summer Palace is truly stunning, feeling like a painting even without visiting the Painting Gallery. I've been to the Summer Palace three times, each visit several years apart, and I still haven't explored the entire park. Just how big is the Summer Palace? How did Empress Dowager Cixi not get exhausted? It's impossible to cover the entire Summer Palace in one go. Choose the entrance closest to the attractions you want to see and plan your route accordingly.
