Summer Palace in Winter

Cold here today. But thankfully the sun came out, and the massive summer palace complex shone.

It is all set in a delightful park


A boat made of marble. Well the base is. Just another pavilion really, but very interesting.


Another long corridor:

The weather was rather kind-looking


There are lots of interesting places dotted aroundthe palace, such as this very large pavilion and stone bridge


The view across the lake:

Makes a change from lions: a kyrin

The cheesiest grin I've seen in China.


It's early and Forest lost, so maybe I'll be more chatty later.
