6. Summer Palace
Location: Haidian District, Beijing
As the largest and best-preserved royal garden, the Summer Palace boasts Beijing's largest natural ice rink, which can accommodate 4,000 people and has a total area of 300,000 square meters divided into two areas. One is for single carts, double carts, ice bicycles and speed skating, while the other is for electric carts, electric ice bumper cars and electric dragon boats.
Coming out of the Summer Palace, visitors can go on to visit the nearby Yuanmingyuan, or Old Summer Palace, and savor various traditional Beijing snacks on the commercial street inside.
