The Summer Palace in Beijing is a major tourist attraction. Once an imperial garden during the Qing dynasty, the compound boasts lakes, gardens, and palaces surrounded by picturesque hills. It was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1998.
But soon, tourists visiting the grounds will find an office dedicated to spreading Chinese Communist propaganda.
