The Summer Palace is located in Beijing, China. Within the rather slim 70,000 square meters of space the Summer Palace occupies, there are several variations of different gardens, palaces, and other classically styled architecture. The palace structure suffered two separate attacks in it’s long history. One of these attacks happened during the Anglo-French invasion of 1860; the other happened during the Boxer Rebellion. The Summer Palace is quite the popular destination for tourists. Having a large expanse of land and water in the vicinity allows the palace to also serve as a park for visitors.
How to Get There
