The Summer Palace is more than just a building; its grounds contain expansive lakes, beautifully landscaped gardens and, of course, grand palaces. It's striking no matter the season, so we highly recommend carving out a few hours to pop by for a visit.

As a pioneering contemporary art gallery, Galerie Continua boasts some of the best exhibitions in Beijing. They also host great events that bring art and culture into focus through inspiring, thought-provoking conversations and presentations.

This stunning park (also called the Old Summer Palace) has a peaceful, relaxed vibe. Enjoy the fresh air as you take in the beauty of the surrounding grounds and buildings. 

Exceptional service, fresh ingredients and a buzzy vibe. Hai Di Lao towers above other hotspot restaurants in the city if you ask us. They have locations across the city, so if Haidian isn't convenient, you can certainly find one that works for you.
