The Summer Palace & Haidian
The glorious Summer Palace (
颐和园
) may be its principal sight, but there's far
more to Haidian (
海淀
), which sprawls across west and northwest Beijing, than
just old imperial digs. The district is home to the capital's biggest parks, while
the hip student neighbourhood of Wudaokou (
五道口
) makes for a very lively
contrast with the temples and museums you'll also find here.
