Situated approximately 51 kilometers from Tiananmen Square and 23 kilometers from the Summer Palace, this area is often referred to as the "small Mt. Huangshan" west of Beijing. The park is renowned for its stunning natural beauty throughout the year, offering a picturesque escape for every season. In spring, the Apricot Garden bursts into vibrant hues with blooming apricot flowers, creating a breathtaking landscape that is celebrated with a lively Apricot Blossom Festival, usually held in early April and lasting about 10 days. Summer offers a refreshing retreat with lush greenery and serene hiking trails, while autumn brings a bounty of fruit-picking opportunities. In winter, the park transforms into a snowy wonderland, perfect for snow activities. Whether you're seeking a tranquil nature walk, seasonal festivities, or a scenic getaway, Phoenix Ridge Scenic Area promises a memorable experience.

After a delightful Chinese lunch, proceed to the majestic Summer Palace for an enchanting walking tour. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Summer Palace stands as one of China's most renowned gardens, offering a serene retreat much like the one enjoyed by the Imperial Family centuries ago. This historic garden, renowned for its exquisite beauty, is especially captivating in autumn when the landscape is ablaze with a stunning array of colors. The Summer Palace boasts over 10,000 trees that are more than a century old, including elegant lacebark pines, graceful willow trees, and vibrant crab apple and peach trees, all contributing to the park's lush and diverse environment. Stroll along the picturesque Kunming Lake and explore the Long Corridor, adorned with intricate paintings and offering panoramic views. Don’t miss the iconic Marble Boat, a testament to the opulence of Qing Dynasty architecture. After immersing yourself in the tranquil beauty of the Summer Palace, return to your hotel in Beijing, reflecting on the day's rich cultural experiences.
