I have a late shift today which starts at around 4pm so I decided to visit the Summer Palace today before going to work.
This huge regal encampment of the summer palace in the northwest of Beijing is one of the City's principal attractions. I am told it was once a playground for the imperial court of eluding the insufferable summer swelter of the Forbidden City.
100 000 labourers were enlisted to deepen and expand the Kumming Lake around the hilltop Palace.
I visited the Temples in the Palace and saw that they were all Buddhist Temples.
I descended the Temple and crossed the Lake on a boat ride to the other end to see the small island.
I must say the view of the Palace from the lake is simply awesome. Very beautiful scenario.
In any case, I think the most amusing thing I did today was to take fotos dressed as a chinese emperor. This attracted a huge crowd and a rather funny scenario.
As it is, I became a huge object of photography today!!!!
