Yuanmingyuan Park Review

The scenic area is very large. Tourists who plan to visit the Summer Palace and the Yuanmingyuan need to pay attention to the tour time. There are tour buses in the scenic area to choose from. There are many people waiting during the peak period. It is Tsinghua University to go out from the Changchun Garden Gate.

Big park! Lots of historical ruins. Would be great if you have a guide to explain its significance. Not easy to get around with kids as it’s impossible to cover everything in a day.

Just such a big round, by the way 🤼‍♀️🤾🏻‍♀️⛹️‍♂️⛹️‍♂️⛹️‍♂️🏌🏽‍♀️🏌🏽‍♀️🧘🏻🧘🏻🧘🏻🧘🏻🧘🏻🧘🏻🧘🏻🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊🏊🚣🏾‍♀️🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♀️🥈🥈🥈

Was lucky enough to go on a sunny day that was not crowded! Mid-morning is best, and it’s good to spend at least 2 hours here. Easy by ride share or subway/walk. There’s a lot of history, and the site is massive in terms of ruins and unkept landscape. Perfect April-September.

Particularly beautiful during wintertime to me. It’s cold, but less crowds and everywhere can be picture background. recommended

Walking through the vast grounds, I was enchanted by the remnants of ancient buildings, serene lakes, and carefully landscaped gardens. The park's layout beautifully combines elements of Chinese and Western architectural influences, creating a unique and awe-inspiring atmosphere.

Yuanmingyuan Park in Beijing is a tranquil oasis steeped in imperial history and natural beauty. Exploring its gardens and ruins offers a glimpse into China's rich cultural heritage and resilience.
