Half Day Summer Palace Private Tour

Our guide is eager to pick you up from your hotel at 8:00 am, or at any other time that suits your schedule. Today's highlight is your visit to the enchanting Summer Palace, where the tour will span approximately 3 hours.

Situated in the western outskirts of the Haidian District, the Summer Palace lies 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) from the center of Beijing. Renowned for being the largest imperial park and meticulously preserved, it was officially designated as a significant Cultural Heritage Site of China by the State Council in 1960. Boasting ancient artistic treasures alongside breathtaking landscapes and magnificent structures, the Summer Palace epitomizes the quintessential Chinese garden and is revered as one of the most renowned and classical gardens in the world. In 1998, it was proudly inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Encompassing Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake, the Summer Palace spans an area of 294 hectares (726.5 acres), with three-quarters of its expanse comprising water. Guided by the harmony of nature, artisans meticulously crafted the gardens to showcase extraordinary vistas and awe-inspiring examples of elegant craftsmanship, using only the finest materials.
