Overview

  • The Summer Palace is a must-see site in Beijing, and we offer two ticket types for your visit:

    1. Combined Ticket
      This ticket includes main gate entry and access to the major interior sights: Dehe Garden, Suzhou Street, Tower of Buddhist Incense, and Wenchang Gallery. You may enter anytime between 6:30 and 15:30, and stay inside the park until closing time.

    2. Main Entrance Ticket
      This ticket grants access to the general park area only. It’s a great choice if you prefer to stroll around the lake, admire the grand landscape, and see the exterior architecture without entering the paid interior venues.
