    This tour is one of the must do.s whilst in Beijing but put it behind the other sites like the Forbidden City and Great Wall if time is short. The palace has its size and lake. The lake was stunning and learning about the history of how the palace was used by the emperors family is an interesting learn.

    We had a amazing day on 25th Oct. we had half day tour as we had to fly in the afternoon. Friday traffic made our woes ever worse; but our guide Jack Niu acted swiftly, and planned our day. We could enjoy the half day Summer palace and could catch the flight! Thanks to Jack for flexibility! It was an excellent experience.

  • Great!
