About this activity
Your guide will pick you up from your hotel in Beijing city at 2:30pm, then head to the famous Summer Palace first.

The Summer Palace has been listed in the World Heritage Sites and considered to be one of the most classical gardens of the world. It is a monument to classical Chinese architecture, in terms of both garden design and construction. Take your time exploring and wandering the garden before heading off to dinner.

Once you finish visiting Summer Palace, your guide and driver will take you to a very interesting imperial mansion restaurant. When you enter the restaurant, you will hear the leisurely ancient music, lingering and reverberating, as well as the smell of flowers and grass permeating in the air. As a common courtesy, squat down and a say "Nin Ji Xiang" (an ancient greeting, meaning "Good Luck to You" or " Welcome"). The "maid of honor", who will be holding a silk handkerchief in her hand, will lead you into this poetic and picturesque wonderland.

In the imperial mansion restaurant, you have the option to dress like an emperor or empress (at your own expense). You will enjoy a great music performance and famous Mask Changing show during dinner time.

After the dinner, your driver and guide will transfer you back to your hotel .
