the visit: Summer Palace

Another necessary sight to see in Beijing is the Summer Palace. We found that if we climbed (and carried a stroller up) a few hundred stairs, there were less people, and more nature to enjoy.

Colourful, ornate, and detailed architecture in the buildings. Gold and red are favourite colours it seemed to me.

Here we walked along a path that went around a man-made lake. There were a few people fishing as well.

This is one of the views on our way up the stairs. We were thankful for a relatively clear day and for the fact that the rain that fell earlier cooled us down somewhat.
