The Summer Palace

The Summer Palace is perhaps one of the must-go-to places for a visitor coming to this city for the first time.

Please enjoy a short video I made early this year after a visit to the park. I think the best time to visit the place during a day is at dusk, when the setting sun tints everywhere with a lustrous golden color. The mountain, the lakes, the trees are all in a misty gold.

Most visitors have left the park and everywhere becomes very quiet. Once in a while you can hear the birds twittering, the towers faraway in a mystic haze.

Take a look, and welcome to the Summer Palace!
