The climb up from the entrance to the Summer Palace is quite stunning, and once you get closer to the top, you're able to appreciate all the architectural and decorational details of the structures. Like a lot of things in China, these buildings aren't necessarily that old, but they've usually been carefully reconstructed to look exactly like the originals.
