Beijing

The above photo and the two below were taken at Beijing's imposing Forbidden City, the largest collection of ancient buildings in all of China.


I took the above photo and the 2 below at Beijing's 700-acre Temple of Heaven Park.



The photos above and below were taken at the Summer Palace, "former playground for emperors fleeing the summer torpor" of Beijing.



Above photo and the one below were taken at Beijing's Lama Temple, "the most renowned Tibetan Buddhist temple outside of Tibet."



Photos above and below I took at Badaling, the busiest section of the Great Wall, about 90 minutes northwest of Beijing. The leaves are changing now which brings out the leaf peepers.
