Practical guide
Summer Palace arrival: choose a gate first
Match your arrival gate to Beijing’s municipal transit guidance.
Beijing’s municipal Summer Palace guide pairs the East Palace Gate with Xiyuan Station on Line 4, the North Palace Gate with Beigongmen Station on Line 4, and the West Gate with the Xijiao Metro Line. Choose the gate before routing; ticket, operating and entry arrangements are live information.
A clear next step
- Decide whether the East, North, or West Gate best fits your plan.
- Use the municipal gate-and-station pairing to plan transit.
- Check the live municipal visitor guide for current entry and ticket details.
