boat service in summer palace.

Question

HI - Just wondering where the boat to the Summer Palace leaves from. Is it from behind the Zoo ( I will be in Beijing in May and have been told the boat transport to the palace is running then )? And how long is recommended at The Summer Palace.The guide on Travel China Guide recommends 1.5 hrs . I cannot walk great distances / lengths but was wondering if this was enough ?Thanks - Jeff

The pier is in the north area of Beijing zoo, nearby the Elephant park. Yes, the boat is running now. You should spend more hours in the Summer Palace. One and a half hours is the minimum time, for example you are in a schedule tour group. You can stay there longer according to your time.
