It is really beautiful to go to the Old Summer Palace to enjoy the lotus in summer, and to go ice skating and watch the snow in the Old Summer Palace in winter.

Summer Palace【Huang Ama's back garden】
The Summer Palace is the most well-preserved royal garden today, and the royal gardens in the north reflect the characteristics of "generosity". The water of Kunming Lake is very clear and the field of vision is vast. The murals on the promenade are the most classic.
The lotus and goldfish in summer are particularly beautiful, and the snow scene in deep winter is also amazing.

Play tips
Calculating the time, I took a tour for about 7 hours except eating, and I also listened to the tour guide for 7 hours. At around 16.30, we returned by car and took a look at the appearance of Tsinghua University and Peking University. The dream of the year, now look at it It's time to put it on the child, haha
Summary: In fact, I didn’t dare to think that it would be so smooth to visit two parks in one day, especially thanks to the tour guide Ms. Busda, who also gave us a small gift. Thanks for your hard work. The most important thing is that the price is cheap and there are tour guides. There is no tour guide in this place in Beijing. I really can’t understand it. Before I came to the park, my impression of this place was the plot of a TV series, but after a professional person said this, hey, Understood. Ha ha
