It's endless, really endless! The Summer Palace is just too big!!!

The Summer Palace covers an area 4.5 times that of the Forbidden City, and if you want to fully explore it, it might require a lot of energy, and due to time constraints, I didn't visit all the attractions. Transportation: Exit from the D exit of the Beigongmen subway station, turn left and walk about 300 meters to reach the Summer Palace (Beigongmen) Ticket Price: 💰 Adult ticket price is 30 yuan/💰 Half-price ticket is 15 yuan ⏱ Opening Hours: From April 1st to October 31st, the opening hours are 06:00-20:00 (tickets stop being sold at 19:00) From November 1st to March 31st, the opening hours are 06:30-19:00 (tickets stop being sold at 18:00) 👟 Route: Start from Suzhou Street — Four Great Continents — Stroll in Painting — Long Corridor — Tower of Buddhist Incense — Hall of Joyful Longevity — Yulang Hall — Summer Palace Museum — Zhichun Pavilion — Seventeen-Arch Bridge — New Palace Gate ▪ Suzhou Street: Built during the Qianlong period to resemble the water towns of the Jiangnan region, if you haven't bought a through ticket, you need to purchase a separate ticket for Suzhou Street. (You can overlook it from above, there's no need to buy a ticket to visit) ▪ Four Great Continents: A group of Tibetan-style religious buildings constructed during the Qianlong period. ▪ Stroll in Painting: A very beautiful place❗ I think this is the most beautiful part of the Summer Palace, you can quickly get there by taking the mountain road on the right side of the bridge above Suzhou Street. ▪ Long Corridor: The longest gallery in Chinese classical gardens. ▪ Tower of Buddhist Incense: Requires a separate ticket for entry🎫 (unless you have bought a through ticket) It is the core part of the entire Summer Palace. Inside the tower, there is a bronze statue of the Thousand-Handed Guanyin Bodhisattva. ▪ Hall of Joyful Longevity: Empress Dowager Cixi's residence within the garden. ▪ Yulang Hall: After the failure of the Hundred Days' Reform, it became the place where Empress Dowager Cixi kept Emperor Guangxu under house arrest. ▪ Summer Palace Museum: I didn't go in because it's not open after 18:00. ▪ Zhichun Pavilion: The best place to enjoy the view of Wanshou Mountain and Kunming Lake. ▪ Wenchang Gallery: The largest of the six city gates within the Summer Palace. ▪ Seventeen-Arch Bridge: The longest existing bridge in our country's royal gardens, with more than 500 different stone lions on the bridge.
