This morning we took the subway out to the Summer Palace in
the north-west of the city, where in the days gone by, the imperial courts
escaped the summer heat of the old imperial city (The Forbidden City). It’s a
vast landscape full of winding, forested paths, temples, gardens, pavilions,
lakes, bridges, gate towers and corridors.
It was a beautiful spring day without the ever-present crowds, so we
could feel how peaceful and tranquil the area was. Thyson said it was his
favourite place in Beijing so far – I think that was because of the lack of
crowds!
