Impromptu Holiday: Beijing (part 5)

The afternoon weather is great enough to continue touring the city, and this time it's to the other far end of Beijing to the Summer Palace.. 

As you can see the sky is crystal clear without any indication of smog, we're not kidding..

The entrance gate to Summer Palace perched on top of the hill

As we climb and climb..

You will surely need to take a break

Because other than looking at the intrinsic and marvellous architecture, you will also need to adjust your jacket

The back portion in the background, and it's a long way down the hill

Turning the other way, this the back of Summer Palace.
The Seventeen Arch bridge is in the background
And far far away is Beijing city centre

So we walked down the stairs

And stop to pose for photos

Hmm.. am I sleeping?!!

The entire view.. see the entrance is at the top, and then you make your way down slowly and end up at the lake

Like in Bollywood films.. dance among the trees

This long corridor's name is Long Corridor

The whole afternoon and still not at the Seventeen Arch bridge yet..

This is how big Summer Palace is.. and it's beautiful
Prettier than Forbidden City I must say
