The Summer Palace is regarded as the best-preserved imperial garden in the world, and is the largest of its kind in modern-day China. Situated in the northwestern outskirts of Beijing, the palace occupies an area of 290 hectares and consists mainly of Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake. In December 1998, UNESCO included the Summer Palace on its World Heritage List. It declared the Summer Palace an "outstanding expression of the creative art of Chinese Landscape Garden Design, incorporating the works of humankind and nature in a harmonious whole." Walking along the lakeside under the charming moonlight, you will forget the time and get an authentic taste of ancient Chinese culture.
