Things to do in Old Summer Palace Garden

Guide David is professional and knowledgeable. His explanations were clear and we learnt a lot from him regarding the history and artifacts of the attractions. He is friendly and approachable too. Thank you!

tour guide was very kind and friendly. would book again! he was very informative and well researched.

It feels great here, the performances are great, the service is good, the dishes are delicious and unique, it would be great to bring friends here, we enjoyed a palace feast, Chinese culture is particularly highlighted, it is worth a visit, the museum on the first floor and the imperial garden on the second floor are particularly beautiful, I will come again next time I go to China, and I will definitely bring my friends here.

David Zhou is an amazing tour guide. He is a walking history professor on Chinese and South East Asian history. He shared a lot of insightful historical information about Dowager Cixi and historical facts on the Qing dynasty. He is also very knowledgeable about the history of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Overall a very insightful tour. On the other hand it’ll be good to book the morning tour instead of the afternoon tour as the museum was closed.

Guide had vast experience and he explained history in detail. The trip is good cos you won't know the history unless you hear it from someone.

We are lucky to meet David Zhou as our tour guide during our trip to Beijing. He is friendly and detail-oriented. Before the meet up, he will share the meet up location via WhatsApp with photos and videos so that we can easily locate him. Also, he is very knowledgeable. We really appreciate him on the sharing of history for each part of the building. We are so fascinated on the craftsmanship of each building. Lastly, we would like to thank him for introducing good local food (69方砖厂炸酱面). We really enjoyed it.

Great experience! Enjoying the royal dishes while watching the folk dance performance, it is a feast for the eyes and taste~ It seems like traveling through time and space to ancient times, celebrating the birthday of the Empress Dowager with all the civil and military officials!

We had the best tour guide in our trip thanks to Kevin, he is so funny! Our first stop is summer palace, we had lunch buffet and spent our afternoon at great wall of China Mutianyu area. ☺️
