Kunming Lake attraction highlights
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Kunming Lake is located in the Summer Palace in Beijing. It occupies three-quarters of the Summer Palace and has a beautiful scenery. It is the soul of the whole garden. According to the division of waters, Kunming Lake can be divided into three parts: Great Lakes, West Lake and Houhu. Every summer and autumn, a large number of tourists come to the lake, enjoying the pavilions on the lakeside and taking a panoramic view of the park. In addition to the lake and the water, the 17-hole bridge and the west bank in the lake are also worth savoring.

Other visitors' reviews of Kunming Lake
Show More ReviewsWinter is one of the most poetic and uniquely charming seasons in the Summer Palace. It transforms from shimmering, vibrant water into a vast and tranquil frozen world. In early to mid-December, the lake begins to freeze, extending from the shore towards the center. The thin ice reflects the sunlight, intertwining with the unfrozen, deep blue water to create a natural ink painting.
