Description
Begin your journey at Ziyuwan Pier in Purple Bamboo Park, where Empress Dowager Cixi once changed boats and rested. Board a boat and travel along the western water system of Beijing to the Summer Palace.
As the ship slowly advances, watch the urban scenery gradually decrease and lakes, willows, and ancient bridges slowly appear. This is not ordinary transportation, but rather a journey from modern Beijing to the royal world of the Qing Dynasty.
Summer Palace
See the Buddha Fragrance Pavilion on Mount Wanshou, the Seventeen Arch Bridge in Kunming Lake, Nanhu Island, and the Long Corridor. These buildings, along with the lake and mountain scenery, form the most classic 'landscape paintings' of traditional Chinese gardens.

Important Information
