  Summer Palace
(Sights & Activities - Parks)
19 Xinjian GongmenHaidian 6288 1144
Description:
A lovely day outside the city can be spent at this exquisite palace where the later Qing rulers (notably, the Dowager Empress Cixi) relaxed in idyllic splendor while their empire collapsed around them. Built from 1749 to 1764, the Summer Palace is set around the lush Kunming Lake and is a popular spot for Beijingers to get some fresh air. Interestingly, there is now a boat service via canal to the palace from Beizhan Houhu Matou (phone 8836 3576). Ideal for a family day out or a picnic.
