Visit Three Imperial Gardens in One Day

Old Summer Palace is in the neighbourhood of Summer Palace and Xiangshan Park. So we were able to visit all three parks in one day. The Old Summer Palace was destroyed in 1860 by the French-British force. The ruins are now re-built into a park. We thought that there won’t be much to see, but we were wrong. We ended up spent almost three hours here, as it is three times as big as the current Summer Palace. It is composed of three major gardens – Yuanmingyuan, Changchunyuan and Qichunyuan. If you are interested in modern Chinese history, this is a must-visit site.

Does anyone know a good hotel, less expensive in XiAN?

much appreciated!
