颐和园

Informazioni su 颐和园

The Summer Palace is Beijing's best-preserved imperial garden, organised around Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake. Its operator records that Qingyi Yuan, the Garden of Clear Ripples, was first constructed in 1750, destroyed by Anglo-French forces in 1860 and rebuilt from 1886. It was renamed Yihe Yuan in 1888 as a summer resort for Empress Dowager Cixi, damaged again in 1900 and repaired in 1902. The estate later became a nationally protected historic site and a UNESCO World Heritage property, combining political history with classical garden design.

Cosa c'è dentro

The Summer Palace covers 3.09 square kilometres, three quarters of it water, with about 70,000 square metres of palaces, gardens and traditional buildings. The principal areas are the former palace zone, Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake. Named highlights include the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity, Garden of Virtue and Harmony, Hall of Jade Ripples, Tower of Buddhist Incense, Sea of Wisdom Temple, South Lake Island, West Causeway and Suzhou Street. Several of these are separately ticketed garden-within-the-garden attractions rather than automatic parts of a basic admission route.

Quanto tempo dedicare

A single operator-recommended visit duration for the Summer Palace is Not recorded. The scale explains why visits differ: the site extends across 3.09 square kilometres, most of it lake, and contains a palace area, hill paths, causeways, temples, pavilions and separately entered attractions. A direct route between one gate, Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake is not equivalent to a full circuit including Suzhou Street or the Summer Palace Museum. Choose an exit before entering and match the route to the available walking time and attraction closing hours.

Stagione e folla

From 1 April through 31 October, the Summer Palace park opens at 6:00am, stops admission at 7:00pm and closes at 8:00pm. From 1 November through 31 March, it opens at 6:30am, stops admission at 6:00pm and closes at 7:00pm. Garden-within-the-garden attractions keep shorter hours and selected interiors close on Mondays except national public holidays. Plan the named interior sights before the lakeside grounds, because entry to those attractions can finish well before the park itself closes.

Biglietti

The Summer Palace sells a main admission ticket and a combined ticket that also covers the Garden of Virtue and Harmony, Tower of Buddhist Incense, Suzhou Street and Summer Palace Museum.

A current amount paired with a source-dated euro conversion is Not recorded here. Foreign visitors may book through the official Summer Palace WeChat account using a passport or permanent-residence permit, or use the park's service window.

Come arrivare

The Summer Palace is at 19 Xinjian Gongmen Road in Beijing's Haidian District, about 15 kilometres from central Beijing. Beijing's official visitor guide links different metro stations to different entrances: Xiyuan Station on Line 4 serves the East Palace Gate, Beigongmen Station on Line 4 serves the North Palace Gate, and the Xijiao Line serves the West Gate. The entrance chosen determines the first landscape sequence and final return route. Confirm the intended gate before travel rather than treating the whole 3.09-square-kilometre estate as one transport stop.

A cosa prestare attenzione

The main practical trap at the Summer Palace is assuming that every attraction follows the park's long opening day. The Tower of Buddhist Incense, Garden of Virtue and Harmony, Summer Palace Museum and Suzhou Street stop admission earlier and close on Mondays except national holidays. They also require separate or combined-ticket access. Foreign visitors using the official reservation channel need the passport or permanent-residence permit used for booking. The site spans hill paths and long lake edges; detailed step-free routes, luggage storage, dress requirements and scam warnings are Not recorded on the English operator page.

Fotografia

A general visitor-photography policy for the Summer Palace is Not recorded on the English operator page. The major compositions are landscape-scale: Longevity Hill rising above Kunming Lake, the Tower of Buddhist Incense, long causeways, bridges and palace courtyards. Interior cultural relics, museums and separately controlled attractions may follow rules different from the open gardens. Do not infer permission for flash, tripods, drones, commercial shoots or staged sessions. Follow signs and staff instructions at each attraction and contact the management office before bringing equipment intended for anything beyond ordinary personal photography.
