Its strategic watchtowers and restored stone pathways blend history with natural beauty, making it a must-see. For convenience, you can take a cable car up and down, or opt for a chairlift ascent followed by an exhilarating toboggan slide descent—perfect for saving energy while enjoying the thrill.

Summer palace

The Summer Palace, an imperial garden built in the Qing Dynasty (1750), was originally named Qingyiyuan (“Garden of Clear Ripples”) and later reconstructed by Empress Dowager Cixi. Destroyed during the Second Opium War, it now showcases stunning landscapes: serene Kunming lake,lush Longevity Hill, and the iconic Long Corridor adorned with 14,000+ historic paintings. Highlights include the grand Tower of Buddhist Incense and marble boats on the lake. A UNESCO World Heritage site, it blends classical Chinese garden design with natural beauty, offering a peaceful escape into imperial elegance.
