As a Qing-dynasty imperial garden featuring palaces, hills, temples and lakes, the Summer Palace is famous for its perfect combination of traditional architecture and natural beauty. The weather was beautiful on the sunny afternoon and students were fascinated by the impressive attractions and landscape of the Summer Palace. Some of them climbed to the top of Longevity Hill and got a whole view of the magnificent Kunming Lake, others then rent a boat to get into the surroundings from the lake and enjoy the sunshine and breeze.
