Everything was perfect! We entered very quickly and accessed the entire summer palace just by showing the QR codes they provided us. I 100% recommend buying the tickets with them!!

Very pleasant experience

With the assistance of Miss Li everything went smoothly from ordering the tickets, receiving the tickets and guidance how to get there, what to see and where to go. Miss Li even helped me get a refund of my ticket since I am above 60 and therefore get in for free.

Summer palace

We bought the tickets on Viator, the operator who assisted us was very kind and reliable. We never had to wait in line to enter because the day before the visit, she sent us the QR codes for the tickets. Very nice experience, gardens and a boat ride were top-notch! The summer palace is magnificent

Great and quick assistance and provided wonderful advice

Accidentally booked the trip a day later than planned so when asked, Ms. Li, the person in charge of giving us our tickets, helped us out and was able to get us tickets the day of in less than 30 minutes. Great communication and advice from her, making the trip to the Summer Palace more exciting and worth. Would recommend.

Scenic summer palace

Would highly recommend a visit to the summer palace, it has beautiful buildings, is incredibly scenic and there are lots of different areas to explore. I received my ticket easily from Sunflower Li with clear instructions on the order to visit each other the main attractions and maximise my visit. Would recommend going early (before 9am) as it is much quieter, cooler in hot weather and you can take pictures before the crowds start to arrive.

Li is the absolute best!!

The Palace is absolutely amazing, so rich in history and just a gorgeous place to spend time exploring and learning about its incredible past. It really is a special experience from start to finish. What made it even better was the help we got while booking tickets. Li was honestly fantastic super friendly, helpful, and just really lovely to deal with. Even though we never met in person and everything was done over WhatsApp, she made the whole process so easy and stress-free. She was always quick to respond, really kind, and just had such a nice, positive way about her. Thank you so much, Li, for helping us book such an amazing experience!
