We are visiting Beijing next week and would like to take the Royal Boat Cruise.

And hop off at the zoo then get back on to continue to the summer palace. is this possible? If so, would you know where to purchase tickets? Do you know where the boat takes off from and do you know it's operating hours? We are only planning on a few hours for the zoo as we have been to plenty of them in the States. Please Advise-thanks!
