5.00Visited the Summer Palace, Buddhist temple and Temple of Heaven with guide Yule. It went perfectly. The guide speaks perfect Russian, answered all questions. Before 5 p.m., we had time to see a lot of beautiful sights, without worrying about tickets and admission rules. Lunch was full, the duck is the same in Beijing as in famous restaurants. Thank you so much for this experience.
Totally recommendable.
