amazing park
Getting from the Begin Center is possible with a subway coming close to the entrance. We preferred to take a taxi to get to the area.. Taxi cost about 15 euros from Park Hyatt. The place is amazing Huge that you can't see all the museums in one day. It is worth staying here all day and in between to take a break from going up to one building to another. There are enough places everywhere to rest and eat something and clean toilets. Walk around the lake and reach the bridges that cross it at spectacular points. Take a boat and sail on the lake. They take a deposit that at the end of the time is returned, there is a separate line for a refund. There are pedal boats, I preferred them and there are boats with a motor that are of course more expensive. Take something small to eat and drink and enjoy the magical atmosphere of the place

A nice historic walk
The Summer Palace is both a historic museum and a very nice park. If you take the long walk around the entire lake you get about 7 kms of exercise and some splendid views. Come early, especially on weekends, because this place gets crowded when the weather is nice.
