West of the Summer Palace, the Fragrant Hills were once an imperial hunting retreat and today offer wooded walks past temples, pavilions and scenic pools – a great spot for a picnic.
Accessing the park from its eastern gate, it’s about an hour’s climb up to Incense Burner Peak from where, on clear days, you’ll
enjoy good views back toward the capital city, but if your time is limited there’s also the option of taking a chairlift to the top (¥40).
The walk is particularly spectacular during fall when the leaves glow warm reds and browns in the sunlight. But this beauty comes at a price, as you’ll have to share the slopes with hordes of visitors, especially on the weekends.
