These are two of my favorite places that we saw in China. The Imperial Summer Palace is a huge area with a beautiful lake in the middle. We walked halfway around and then took a ferry boat back. I could have spent all day here but unfortunately we'd already been sightseeing most of the day, the kids were tired and it was cold and windy. You should Google Imperial Summer Palace Beijing for better pictures.
Practicing Chinese calligraphy on the sidewalk with water. They usually write poems.
Bei Hai Park was about a 30 minute walk from our hotel. These lions stand at the entrance of almost every major gateway. The lion on the left is male and has a ball under his paw. The lion on the right is female and has a baby cub under her paw. We were told this signifies the female take care of the young. So, what? The men just play with their toys? :)
