Hello my dear friends! So we have visited few parks in Beijing!
Summer palace of emperors – perfect place to feel why rulers wanted to go out of the city. There are even the corridors in the territory, that are helping to hide from direct sun. They were built in order for the emperors to walk in the territory. But I would still recommend to choose cooler day, not as we did, because it is difficult to enjoy the place when you are just thinking how not to melt.
Inside there is a big lake, so you can use small boats to reach some objects. It is not very cheap if you are going everywhere by boat. One ride is around 3 Eur, thinking that entrance is less than 9 Eur. But for us it was really worth it as it was just too hot to walk anywhere. The boat takes you to a little Venice – very romantic and cozy. And then you can go back to the 17 arch bridge and walk to objects close by. Also it is possible to rent a water bike for 9 Eur, just make sure you have enough cash, as they ask for deposit too – few hundred Juan.
Also, there is a nice park next to the ''forbidden city'', in the city centre. It is a great place to run from the heat, enjoy shadows and big trees around you. I definitely understand why they made those parks close to the mansions :)
There are many more of them - share which park did you like in Beijing or whatever other destination? :)
