A bit scared of skating\u00a0on the iced lake surface? Actually, you don’t have to\u00a0strap on your skates\u00a0as a trained skater to skate on the frozen surface\u00a0in\u00a0Summer Palace<\/a>\u00a0or any other skate rinks in Beijing.\u00a0Just wear your comfortable sports shoes and sit on a chair-sled or bike sled, or just ride an ice bike to skate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course,\u00a0 if you are good at skating with skates,\u00a0the skating rink in Summer Palace<\/a> is definitely your ideal place to entertain and exercise yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winter skating starts normally from early January and ends at early February, a month long skating period. The actual skating time largely depends on the temperature and the weather of that period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
