The Summer Palace (also known as Yiheyuan) in Beijing is a vast UNESCO World Heritage Site, known as the largest and best preserved imperial garden in China. It was built in the 1870s during the Qing Dynasty's (1644-1911). It became a public park in 1924. It includes Longetivity Hill, Kunming Lake and Seventeen Hole Bridge.
The Summer Palace is a vast ensemble of lakes, gardens and palaces in Beijing. It is one of the most popular landmarks in Beijing and one of the best example of an imperial palace in China.
The Summer Palace is more than just a royal residence. It is also a place where Princess Dowager Cixi and emperors of the Qing Dynasty conducted court affairs, accept royal visitors, and engage in foreign diplomats. This place is a witness to important historical events and diplomatic relationships that shaped its legacy. This historical site must be included in your places to visit when going to Beijing.
The places to look on in Summer Palace is the Long Corridor, Garden of Virtue and Harmony, Wenchang Gallery, The Hall of Serenity, and the Tower of Buddhist Incense. If it is your first time traveling this the city, Summer Palace is a must visit.

We visited the Summer Palace in December and the lake is all frozen. The ideal season to visit the Summer Palace is during spring or autumn. This UNESCO site can be reached via Didi or by the metro. Its exact location is at 19 Xinjian Gongmen Road, Haidian District, Beijing or 20 kilometer drive away from the Tiananmen Square.
The Summer Palace has three gates: East Gate or East Palace Gate; North Gate or Beigongmen, or North Palace Gate; and The South Gate, also known as South Palace Gate.
