Roam around the Summer Palace
Situated around Kunming Lake, the Summer Palace grounds were a resting place for the Chinese imperial family in the late 1800s. Wandering around the lake provides gorgeous views of the surrounding scenery. The gardens are reminiscent of those throughout China. Some of the featured attractions include Longevity Hill, the Long Corridor, and the famous Marble Boat. The Summer Palace is about ten miles west of Beijing.
Avoid the Summer Palace on Sundays unless you really want to be a part of a large crowd.
