Nanhu Island

Nanhu Island is the largest island in Kunming Lake, part of the expansive Summer Palace complex. Accessible via the Seventeen Arch Bridge, the island offers a peaceful retreat with its 18th-century pavilion, temple, and Hanxu Hall, once used by the emperor. Visitors appreciate the opportunity to stroll through the island's grounds and enjoy panoramic views of Longevity Hill and the surrounding parkland. Dragon boat rides provide an alternative means of reaching the island during the spring and summer months.
