To enhance your visit—especially since the Summer Palace is located away from downtown—we offer upgraded packages that include a 2-hour guided tour, round-trip city transportation, or a comprehensive package with tour, transfers, and driver service.

- The Summer Palace is open daily all year round. However, the on-site museums—accessible only with a combined ticket—remain closed every Monday. For visitors planning a 2-hour visit, a standard ticket will be more than sufficient.
