The Summer Palace Loved by Empress Dowager Cixi

The Summer Palace, which was burned down by the British army around the 17th century, was rebuilt by Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty, and is an imperial garden whose beauty still remains even after suffering another loss. It is the largest of the existing imperial gardens in Beijing, and the mountains and lakes create a spectacular view, so the Chinese government has designated it as a 5A-level scenic spot. 

Stroll through the lush landscape with a knowledgeable guide, admire traditional Chinese architecture, and learn about the fascinating stories of Yongbi Eocheonga and her extraordinary life.
