Beijing Bucket List: Winter at "Summer"

It’s been a long and tiring day.
But Summer Palace is just breathtaking and awesome.
Take a look.
 

 
I dunno if this is the main “temple.” But it’s indeed grand.

 
“Buddha-lettes.” Mini Buddha (?) figures on the wall.

 
This bridge got my attention. I was going down a steep hill when I saw this one. And this is just one of a lot of magnificent structures in the park…

 
…until I found this spot. It’s so scenic and mysterious that I thought it’s perfect to drown in a pensive mood here.

 
I took a photo of this lady at that same spot. She liked it and took a candid shot of mine. In return, I asked her if we can have a selfie. Here it is!

 
So going on, I saw this hall and thought to relax for a while.


 
I walked after…

…seeing this yin-yang pattern…

 
“…don’t disturb! I’m checking my photos.”

 
…and saw this guy doing Tai Chi by the lake. “Ready, set, FIGHT!”

 
…until I reached the Jade Bridge, patterned after the one in Hangzhou.

 
 
Continuing my stroll, I saw this field of whatever plants on a frozen lake.

 
Shake hands.

 
“Where am I?”

 
The beauty of sunset.

 
Then I reached the 17-Arch Bridge.

 
…and did some drama by Kunming Lake.
