The Old Summer Palace's Stunning Oil Painting-like Scenery~Beautiful Views

· The autumn colors of the Old Summer Palace usually last from mid-October to mid-November. If you want to see the golden ginkgo avenue and mirror-like reflections, it is recommended to visit on a windless, clear day. 📝 Tips: From 7:00 to 9:00 in the morning, the light is the softest and there are fewer tourists, making it ideal for photography. Although windy weather affects reflections, it can create ripple effects like an oil painting, which is also very beautiful. 🚉: The Old Summer Palace is quite large, and walking the entire area can be tiring, so it is recommended to explore by sections~ · East Route: Start from the Changchun Garden entrance, first visit the Hanjingtang and Yulinglong Pavilion (check for maintenance status), then head to the ginkgo avenue at the Western Mansions ruins. · West Route: Start from Yichun Garden, focus on visiting Pingxiang Pavilion, then stroll along the north side of Fuhai Lake to enjoy the contrast between white wax trees and willows. · South Route: The Houhai and Quyuan Fenghe areas are relatively quiet, perfect for relaxing in the afternoon and photographing reeds and flowers. · 🌟 Other Worthwhile Attractions · Lion Forest Garden: Located within Changchun Garden, famous for its unique rocks and pavilions, adorned with autumn red leaves. · Water Viewing Platform: Near the Western Mansions ruins, a great spot to enjoy autumn water scenery. · Hanxu Langjian: East side of Fuhai Lake, less crowded and beautiful, ideal for photographing the lake at sunset. 📍 There are sightseeing cars and bicycle rentals inside the park, or you can choose to ride a bike to save energy~ Park entrance fee: 10 RMB
