Best view of summer palace

If you're looking to escape the bustle of Beijing and immerse yourself in a captivating atmosphere where nature and history intertwine, Summer Palace is the perfect destination. This magnificent site, once the summer palace of the Chinese emperors, is a veritable open-air museum with its lakes, temples, and colorful corridors. Take a short tour on Kunming Lake in dragon-shaped boats or stroll along the Long Corridor, captivated by traditional Chinese landscape paintings. Every corner is photo-worthy, peaceful, and impressive. With cool breezes in summer and snow-covered landscapes in winter, each season takes on a unique beauty. It's about a 45-minute subway or bus ride from the city center; the nearest subway station is Beigongmen. Don't forget to stop by one of the small teahouses at the entrance and sample some local delicacies. Summer Palace isn't just a tourist attraction; it's a special place where you can experience the spirit of China. #chinatravel #summerpalace #travel
