After meeting the visitors at the East Gate of the Summer Palace, we will enter together through the East Gate. As the largest surviving imperial garden in China, the Summer Palace was built on the site of Kunming Lake and Wanshou Hill, drawing inspiration from the landscape architecture of southern China. It combines administrative, residential, and recreational functions into one. Centered around the Hall of Fragrant Incense, the garden features classic structures such as the Long Corridor, the Stone Boat, and the Seventeen-Arch Bridge, arranged in a harmonious layout that exudes imperial grandeur while showcasing the natural beauty of its landscapes.


As the pinnacle of classical Chinese garden design, the Summer Palace embodies profound historical and cultural significance. Now, let us explore the unique charm of this “Museum of Imperial Gardens” together.
