Buy the Ticket at the Gate, and Look for the Sign Saying Roy Li
A guided walk through the Summer Palace with an English-speaking guide, priced for the guide alone.
The Summer Palace does not need to be booked in advance, so the ticket is bought on the day at the gate. Bring your passport, and cash or Alipay to pay with. That is why this booking costs what it does: you are paying for the guiding, not for a ticket you could buy yourself in two minutes.
The guide will be holding a sign with the name Roy Li on it.
