The Summer Palace
Located in the northwestern suburbs of Beijing, covering an area of 3.009 square kilometers, the Summer Palace was formerly known as Qingyi Garden. It was first built in the 15th year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1750) as a large natural landscape garden. Burned down by the Anglo-French Allied Forces in 1860, it was reconstructed in 1886 with funds misappropriated from the navy by the Qing government and renamed the Summer Palace two years later. Using Kunming Lake and Longevity Hill as the site, and taking the scenery of the West Lake in Hangzhou as a blueprint, it was built by absorbing some design techniques and artistic conceptions of Jiangnan gardens. It is the best-preserved imperial palace garden, known as the "Museum of Imperial Gardens".
The Temple of Heaven Park
It served as the venue for the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties to hold heaven-worshipping, grain-praying, and rain-praying ceremonies during the Winter Solstice, and is the largest existing ancient sacrificial architectural complex in China. First built in the 18th year of the Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty (1420), it was initially called the Temple of Heaven and Earth. After the functions of worshipping heaven and earth were separated in the 9th year of the Jiajing reign (1530), it was renamed the Temple of Heaven. The Temple of Heaven consists of an inner altar and an outer altar, with main buildings concentrated in the inner altar, such as the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the Imperial Vault of Heaven, and the Circular Mound. With its unique architectural style and profound cultural connotations, it was recognized as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 1998.
Qianmen Dashilan - Beijing Fun

Drivers are not allowed to park indiscriminately, as violations will result in hefty fines. Therefore, the boarding and alighting locations may be a certain distance from the attractions. We ask for the understanding of all group members.
