The Summer Palace (top left below) is in Beijing some distance from the Forbidden City (near the letter B bottom right) . There is a very good article here Summer_Palace.
When we were there is was close to freezing towards the end of the day, so cold the lake was frozen around the edge but more importantly it wasn't very busy - I'll take the cold over the crowds any day.
Below the amazingly long and ornately painted covered walkways, known as the Long_Corridor - length 728m.
These really appealed to me for their aesthetic and geometry. To the right is the lake to the left palace buildings
Below just some of the decorated interior.
