Beijing Summer Palace Entrance Ticket (with Optional Guided Service)

About this activity

No Beijing itinerary is complete without the Summer Palace—the city’s iconic imperial garden and a must-visit landmark. Securing tickets in advance can be a hassle, but we’re here to streamline your trip: book with us ahead of time, skip the long on-site queues, and explore this sprawling heritage site stress-free.

Choose from two core ticket options tailored to your schedule: a regular ticket, perfect for a 1–2 hour visit to the main garden areas; or a combination ticket, ideal if you plan to stay 2 hours or longer and want access to the palace’s exclusive on-site museums (closed on Mondays).

To make your journey even more convenient—especially since the Summer Palace is a distance from downtown—we also offer upgraded packages including a 2-hour guided tour, round-trip city transportation, or a fully inclusive bundle with tour, transfers and driver service.

What's included

  • ✓Private Hotel Round Trip Transfer if you choose option 2 and option 4
  • ✓Combo ticket if you choose the option( Including extra gardens and museums inside the Summer Palace)
  • ✓English speaking tour guide if you choose option 2 and 3
