The finest Qing-dynasty imperial garden, organized around Kunming Lake and Longevity Hill, where the Long Corridor, the Tower of Buddhist Incense and the Seventeen-Arch Bridge echo one another.
The Summer Palace is the largest surviving imperial garden in China, modeled on Hangzhou's West Lake, where lake and hills blend with pavilions and towers.
The painted Long Corridor, the Marble Boat and Suzhou Street each have their own charm; visitors can boat on Kunming Lake in summer, while the frozen lake offers a different scene in winter.
