The Summer Palace is in a slightly cooler part of Beijing, which is why the emperor would go there in the summer. It's built next to a large lake, and has a lot of shade and some nice breezes through its hills. It seems to be a nice-day hangout for a lot of locals, not just for tourists, although the tourists are plentiful.
