What people say

Samantha Lorenz
"The Summer Palace in Beijing is a masterpiece of Chinese garden design and a testament to imperial grandeur. Sprawling across 290 hectares, it encompasses serene lakes, picturesque pavilions, lush gardens, and magnificent architecture. Built during the Qing Dynasty, the palace served as a retreat for emperors and their families during the scorching summer months."
