Early morning or late afternoon in spring or autumn, when temperatures are pleasant and light is best for photos; avoid Chinese national holidays when crowds spike.

About
Fatos rápidos: 湖光与古建筑交织的园区里有一片巨大的人工湖，面积约占全园的三分之二，乘小舟可以绕过数座石桥和临水长廊。长廊的梁柱上绘有数千幅小画，行走时常能遇到现场弹古琴或昆曲的表演，声色与画面一起讲述过去的日常。
Destaques: 傍晚漫步那条约728米的长廊，木香与旧漆味混合在一起，灯光下的彩画显得柔和而近乎触手可及。关于石舫的传说里常提到慈禧太后曾在画舫上举行私人赏湖，导游会讲到她在生日时让随从撒下糖果逗弄孩童的细节，想象中能听见糖果落水溅起的小响声。
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable walking shoes, many paths are uneven and there are steep stone steps up Longevity Hill.
- Arrive at opening and head straight to Longevity Hill to beat large tour groups and secure clear photos of the Tower of Buddhist Incense.
- Take a short boat on Kunming Lake for low-angle views of the marble boat and bridges, choose smaller operators to avoid crowded large ferries.
- Avoid visiting during Golden Week or National Day holidays, instead pick weekdays for quieter paths and shorter lines.
