Check in at the autumn rice fields! A stunning guide to the Western Three Gardens of the Summer Palace is here

Early in the morning, I visited Zhongwu, Beiwu, and Yudong Parks outside the West Gate of the Summer Palace before the autumn harvest! I finally gathered the rice field scenery from all three spots, each offering a unique surprise✨. The whole walk was about 10,000 steps, so you can choose your check-in route according to your needs～🚶‍♀️

Want to save energy but still enjoy beautiful views? Zhongwu Park is definitely the top choice! You can immerse yourself in the golden waves of rice🌾 without much walking, and every snap is a perfect autumn shot📸. If you're traveling with kids, Beiwu Park is more suitable; it’s spacious and lets the kids run around freely🏃‍♂️. I’ve put the park map in the last picture, making it super easy to find your way～ As for Yudong Park, the rice fields there have a quiet atmosphere, perfect for those who want to slowly savor the autumn vibe.

The rice ears are now fully golden, some gently bowing under their weight, and the harvest will begin soon! If you want to take beautiful photos of the rice fields, you must rush this weekend—miss it and you’ll have to wait until next year～⏳ Plus, all photos were taken in the morning with no filters but still look amazing!
