Summer Palace

Summer Palace The Summer Palace is currently the largest garden in China. It was opened in 1750, covering around 60 miles. It is also composed of the Kunming Lake and the Longevity Hill. During its glorious days, it served as the garden and later the official residence of the royal families. Its grandness, though, was destroyed multiple times due to wars. Fortunately, restoration efforts were in place to bring back its natural beauty. Today it’s one of the gardens that are part of the World Heritage List of UNESCO.
