Can you please give subway directions to the Summer Palace from the Beijing Prime Hotel Wangfujing?

Walk east for about 500 yards to Dongsi Station. Next, take metro line 6 to Ping An Li Station. Then, switch to metro line 4 to Bei Gong Men Station, Exit D, and you can see the palace.

If you only have one day, you may go to Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square first. :)

Thank you! If we go to the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square first, then to the Summer Palace, what method of transport do you suggest? I am uncertain as to the distances involved.

The distance is about 11 mile (17km). After leaving from North Gate of Forbidden City, you may take sightseeing bus line 3 to Beigongmen Station. Then, you can see the palace. Or, you can taxi there for about CNY 50.

Thank you very much!
