A brief travel to the Summer Palace

After lunch, i went to the Summer Palace by myself. This is the second time i went to the beautiful park, and i quite enjoyed the exploration there.


The Tower of Buddhist Incense(佛香阁) is the highest building of the park, just in the peak of Longevity Hill (万寿山).

To the east, are a group of buildings named "Revolving Archives",

Suzhou Street is at the foot of the Longevity Hill, quite special for its style similiar with canal in Suzhou.


A new part of park is built in the other side of the park. Seventeen- Arch Bridge is the most famous building. A Bronze Ox just sits beside the bridge as a guard.

On the bridge, there are seventeen arch and seventeen different stone lions.
Wait for another good day to continue my investigation in Beijing.
