Summer Palace

  Built during the Qing Dynasty in 1750, Summer Palace is situated in the Haidian District of Beijing, just northwest of the city center. Once a royal retreat, it spans approximately 290 hectares and features the impressive Kunming Lake, which stretches about 2.2 kilometers. A notable historical fact is that this UNESCO World Heritage Site showcases exquisite garden designs, blending natural landscapes and architecture harmoniously. Each summer, visitors flock to Summer Palace to stroll along the 728-meter-long Long Corridor and admire over 14,000 paintings that depict Chinese history and folklore. With its rich history and stunning scenery, this site offers countless opportunities to explore traditional Chinese culture and artistry.
