Baiwangshan Forest Park and Summer Palace Fall Foliage Day Tour

Pick up from your hotel in Beijing around 8:00am and drive to Baiwangshan Forest Park. It is located just 3 km north of the Summer Palace. It covers an area of 150 hectares the with a great variety of mature trees, including common smoke trees and torch trees. The mountain peak is 210 meters high. With 95% forest coverage, the park is well-known as the Oxygen Source of Beijing City. In autumn, the mountain is beautifully decorated with splendid red foliage. It offers an excellent view of enchanting red leaves in autumn. After seeing the red leaves, travel to the Summer Palace.


After Chinese lunch, we start the walking tour of the Summer Palace. Rated as a Unesco World Heritage Site, the Summer Palace is one of China's most famous gardens, where city-weary visitors can escape just as the Imperial Family did in the centuries before. Autumn brings a spectacular blaze of colour to the garden. Summer Palace has 10,000 trees that are more than 100 years old. The specimens include lacebark pines, willow trees, crab apple, peach trees and more. After the Summer Palace, return to your hotel in Beijing.


Normally it takes 2 hours to walk around Summer Palace. Visiting Summer Palace needs a bit strong legs with a lot walking since Summer Palace is huge.

Dress for the hot or cold weather. The summer in Beijing could be humid and close, sometimes extremely hot. Also winter could be very cold. So well prepared for the uncomfortable weather both in winter and summer. You are advised to wear your most comfortable shoes.

Summer Palace presents itself with different views for different seasons. Winter sees people skiing on the Kunming Lake; Spring time finds people breathe under fresh trees and flowers; Summer time often sees Summer Palace in a foggy day like a beautiful "water and mountain" Chinese scroll painting. Autumn is the best time walking around Summer Palace, clear and blue sky with comfortable weather.

Summer Palace even at different times of a day allows you to see the different views under sunrise in the morning and sunset in the later afternoon.
