My Trip

A full day centered on the Qing-dynasty Summer Palace, broad and flat and ideal for a stroll with parents. Move slowly from the East Palace Gate through the painted Long Corridor by Kunming Lake, the Tower of Buddhist Incense on Longevity Hill, and the Suzhou Street, then finish with a walk amid the ruins of the adjacent Old Summer Palace. A lake cruise can ease the strain on tired legs.
