#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Travel through time ✨ Enter the beauty and vicissitudes of Beijing's Old Summer Palace Beijing's Old Summer Palace, this royal garden carrying endless historical stories, not only has the glory of the former "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens", but also retains the traces of the vicissitudes of time 🌳 Whether you are a history lover or a partner who wants to find tranquility and beauty, this place is worth a visit!

You can choose the appropriate line according to your departure point🚌 • Self-driving: There are parking lots around the park, but parking spaces are tight on weekends and holidays. It is recommended to go green for more convenience. Must-visit attractions📸 • Western Building Ruins Area: This is definitely the “soul” of the Old Summer Palace! The ruins of Dashuifa and Yuanyingguan are still standing. Although only the broken stone pillars are left, you can still feel the former grandeur and magnificence. Taking pictures has a strong sense of history. • Animal Head Exhibition Hall: Some of the returned original and replica animal heads from the Old Summer Palace are exhibited here. It is very moving to appreciate these exquisite works of art up close and learn about their stories of displacement and return. • Fuhai: The largest lake in the park, with a vast expanse of water. In the summer when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, the pink and white lotus flowers dot the lake, creating a beautiful sight! You can rent a small boat and sail on the lake, which is very pleasant. Tips✨ • Tickets: Purchase tickets in advance through the official account. The main entrance ticket is 10 yuan, and the separate ticket for the Western Building Ruins Area is 15 yuan. There are discounts for students! • Time: It is recommended to go in the morning or evening, when there are fewer people and it is cooler. The garden is very large and you can spend most of the day if you walk slowly. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes. • Guided tour: There are electric cars and bicycles available for rent in the park, so those who don’t want to walk can choose this; you can also rent an electronic guide and learn about the story of the park while walking📱 Strolling in the Old Summer Palace, every inch of land under your feet tells stories of the past. Experiencing the exquisite beauty of the royal gardens while reminiscing about history is such a unique experience! Hurry up and invite your family and friends to check in at Yuanmingyuan~ 🏃♂️🏃♀️
