- The Summer Palace in Beijing is the largest imperial garden in the world, a veritable museum of classical Chinese garden architecture. The construction of the Summer Palace initiated in 1750 by Emperor Qianlong as a gift for his mother's birthday. It took 15 years to complete. Most buildings are destroyed by the plundering of foreign troops in 1860, but renovated in 1888 by Empress Dowager Cixi. Attraction Intro: Summer Palace

I vivted this place (Summer Palace) only a couple of weeks go with my family. In fact out of many hiostorical sites that every visitor goes to in Beijing, I rank it the second most intersting and beautiful spot after Great Wall. Nevrtheless, must I say that the visit to any placed epends a lot on weather that one experiences. Luckinly, when we went there it was absolutely lovely, clear, shing day with a little cool in the air. So everything went perfectly smooth. Its a must visit, even if u have only a day at ur disposal in Beijing. Also, I recommend that u can take to this place on ur way to GreatWall (Badaling Section) if u r in a private car. All it tkes to reach here is about 50 mins and going around (60% of the area) will consume about 1.5-2 hrs. Unless u want to visit the pagoda at the top, it may take u an additional hour. U can sacrifice other places to visit this one, if u r running short of time. Highly recommended.
