This is an enormous park which is well worth a visit. The actual palace was destroyed by the British but the ruins are impressive. We had to show our passport to gain entrance but it wasn't scanned so honestly I don't know if I had a ticket or not. It isn't very well signposted for people who don't speak Chinese so I suggest downloading a map on your mobile
Everything perfect
