Beijing → Summer Palace: key facts

Private transfer, Beijing Airport (PEK) to Summer Palace: the car (1–3 passengers) is €35 and the van (4–8) is €50, a set price for the vehicle that does not change at checkout. Expect 38 km on the road via S50 and S12; about 35 min off-peak, 35–45 min in rush hour.

Pickup: The driver waits in the Arrival Lobby of the terminal your flight lands at (Terminal 2 or Terminal 3), which you enter after baggage claim and, on international flights, the customs inspection, holding a sign with your name. The booking includes flight monitoring and an hour of free waiting from touchdown; your bags are loaded for you.

The Summer Palace is the former imperial garden around Kunming Lake in Haidian district, in the north-west of the city, about 38 km from the airport by road. The drive leaves the airport on the Airport Expressway and crosses the north of Beijing on the Fourth or Fifth Ring Road, passing the Olympic Park area and Zhongguancun before reaching the palace grounds. The Airport Expressway is a toll road; the ring roads are toll-free and are slow in the weekday rush hours.

The palace grounds cover a large area, with Longevity Hill and the Tower of Buddhist Incense on the north shore of Kunming Lake. The East Palace Gate is the main entrance, the North Palace Gate faces Beigongmen subway station, and the New Palace Gate lies to the south-east. Cars stop at the car parks and drop-off areas by these gates; inside the grounds visitors walk or take the boats across the lake. The Old Summer Palace (Yuanmingyuan) and the university district are a short distance to the east.

Public transport instead: Capital Airport Express (Beijing Subway) train Capital Airport Express from Terminal 3 (F2 of Parking Garage No. 3) or Terminal 2 (B2) to Sanyuanqiao (change to subway Line 10), every 10 min, about 06:22-22:52 from T3. Beijing Subway / Beijing MTR metro Line 10, then Line 4 from Sanyuanqiao (Line 10) to Beigongmen (Line 4), change at Haidian Huangzhuang, 2 changes. No direct connection: Capital Airport Express to Sanyuanqiao, subway Line 10 to Haidian Huangzhuang and Line 4 to Beigongmen.
