    Highlights: Situated in the Haidian District northwest of Beijing, the Summer Palace is a Unesco World Heritage site that used to be the palace and garden of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. It is the largest and most well preserved royal park in China. Construction of the palace began in 1750 and it served as a residential and entertainment area for the royal members. The palace underwent two major reconstructions after suffering damages during invasions by the Anglo-French Allied Forces and the Eight-Power Allied Forces during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Summer Palace can be divided into three sectors: a political activity area centered at the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity; an empress living area concentrated around the Hall of Jade Billows and Hall of Joy and Longevity; and a tour route concentrated along the long corridor, rear hill, and the west sector.

    "The price of the ticket in summer feels high, and it is incomprehensible that the child is also a full-price ticket. There are still a lot of people. I have been queuing up for a long time to take the ropeway. I can't do it without doing it. There is a line, the ropeway, and there are various cars behind. All of them are in the fare. If you don't queue up, you have to walk for a long time. It is very big. So you can only queue up when the summer is hot. The slides inside, all the rides are at your own expense, and you can pay in addition. The performance behind feels like you don't see it. It's boring to sell words and paintings."
