Summer Place Museum will move away its parking lot in the next five years and no parking will be allowed in the Summer Place according to Shan Qixiang, director of Summer Palace Museum's speech at the sixth international ecological city forum.

All the cars should be parked outside the wall of Summer Palace Museum and people should walk into Summer Place themselves after parking their cars.

There are over hundreds of cars parking inside Summer Palace Museum, including over 830 personal cars owned by its staffs.

Shan also said the overload parking seriously impact the overall environment in the Summer Palace and may also potentially impose threat to the historical buildings.

This move is meant to strengthen the security of national protected relics and release the pressure of traffic flow inside the Summer Palace.
