Winters Summer Palace Discovering the beauty of winter at Beijing’s Summer Palace
The cold winds prickled my nose and fingertips. A soft cold mist swirling within the smog veiled the palace in the distance like a sheer curtain ready to reveal it’s hidden beauty. This was Beijing’s Summer Palace in the Winter. The Summer Palace (Yiheyuan) is located 15 km from central Beijing and is the largest Royal Park and Garden in China. Despite still being very much in the city once you step through the entrance gates it’s like entering a whole other world, a world of peace and tranquility. It’s no surprise why Chinese royalty of the past had chosen this very spot for their summer retreat.
