Xiuyi Bridge

Don't miss the Xiuyi Bridge when strolling by Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace! This graceful stone arch bridge looks like a jade ribbon across the water, with the best photo spot right at its center framing perfect reflections of Longevity Hill and the Tower of Buddhist Incense. Come at golden hour when sunset gilds the bridge - pure magic! Those intricate lotus carvings on the railings? They're like the Qing Dynasty artisans' version of Instagram posts.
