The Summer Palace is quite large, and there will be a lot of walking, so choose comfortable shoes for easier exploration of the various attractions.
If it snows or there is snow accumulation, especially on stairs and steps, be careful to avoid slipping and getting injured.
Bring a camera, spare batteries, and a charger, as well as some snacks and hot drinks to make your visit more comfortable.
Try to avoid weekends and holidays to prevent crowding.
