From the imperial grandeur of the Summer Palace in Beijing to a quaint, picturesque village on the outskirts of Hangzhou, ‘The Palace and a Village’ offers two unique resorts from which to discover China’s historic wonders and natural beauty.
The Palace...
Just steps from the East Gate of the Summer Palace grounds lies Aman at Summer Palace — the ideal location from which to explore Beijing. Housed in a series of pavilions, some of which date back over a century and were originally used by guests of the Palace awaiting an audience with the Empress Dowager Cixi, the resort provides easy access to such cultural landmarks as the Great Wall, The Temple of Heaven, the hutongs and the Forbidden City.
Stay three nights at Aman at Summer Palace as part of ‘The Palace and a Village’ and enjoy:
- - Daily breakfast for two
- - A private guided tour of the Summer Palace
- - A private guided tour of the Forbidden City (half day)
- - A one-hour Chinese massage for two
- - Return airport transfers from Beijing Airport
