Features: The Summer Palace is located in the northwest suburbs of Beijing and is mainly composed of the Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake. As early as the Yuan and Ming dynasties, it became a famous tourist attraction known as "a spectacular sight in the land" due to its beautiful natural rural scenery. The Longevity Hill today was named Wengshan in the Yuan Dynasty. Legend has it that an old man dug out a stone jar filled with treasures on the hill, hence its name.
