Was able to get the reserved admission ticket through an e-mail after booking through here. I received a QR code with my name and passport number. I booked for the entry ticket on 6th March, received the QR code sdmission ticket on 7th March for entry on 9th March. I was able to get into the summer palace with no issues whatsoever. Great service based on the above description.

Traveling alone and my guide Chen made me feel very comfortable. He not only drove me to the Summer Palace, helped me get in, but then on the way back to the hotel showed me a wonderful snack place. Would recommend Chen to anyone wanting a quick visit to the Summer Palace.

In a very large land, a full day is needed to discover all. The whole place is relaxing, long walks in a wonderful park. During spring may be a better program.
