The Summer Palace was the first place we visited in Beijing ... amazingly beautiful but be prepared for mega crowds! We found it easier to walk along the outside of the long corridor after an introductory look. Unfortunately, we didn't go to the temple at the top of Longevity Hill as part of our tour but it looked well worth... More

The Summer Palace is extraordinary - so many buildings and facilities to see, it deserves more than a few hours. The Long Corridor is amazing, both the paintings and the way you can picture the Dragon Lady and entourage strolling the corridor to get some air. Beautiful views of the lake (and the boat ride across the lake is delightful).... More

The Long Corridor is exactly that; a long corridor. It is a typical ill maintained Chinese structure with low quality paintwork and peeling fading art. If it was kept in good shape it would be much better than it is.

At 720 metres long this is the longest corridor in the world. Exquisitely painted with seasonal scenes the corridor follows the lake up to the Marble Boat. Definitely worth the walk as great views across the lake and back up to the Palace.

I loved the place as there were so many old people playing cards and other games. There was a very old man, who reminded me of the Wizard of Oz, who played on a very Chinese instrument.

The Long Corridor gets very crowded at times, we were fortunate to be there when everyone else wanted to be around the lake. It was a hot Sunday afternoon. We were fortunate to have Catherine Lu, our very knowledgeable guide to explain the paintings and tell us about fables and stories that the paintings depicted. This was top of my... More

The Long Corridor is well preserved. It is a wooden structure and has many painted scenes on the ceiling. It is just one facet of the many things to see at the Summer Palace. It can get very crowded so taking pictures can be difficult. Even so, make sure you visit the Summer Palace to seethe Long Corridor but other... More
