One can always trust the aesthetic appeal of the Summer Palace

The Summer Palace is so big that you’ll end up walking 20,000 steps💦. Take my advice—don’t buy the combined ticket; one day isn’t enough to explore it all! Just get the gate ticket for 30 rMB. Be sure to visit the Buddhist Incense Pavilion and the Hall of Literary Brilliance; Suzhou Street is fine to just glance at. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes!
