A
One week after I started working in Beijing, I decided to visit a place of interest called the Summer Palace. Before setting off, I researched into it on the Internet. The Summer Palace is composed mostly of a lake, but it's surrounded by beautiful greenery (青葱的草木) and a walkway that circles the lake. It is recommended that you give the Summer Palace about three hours. If you try to walk around it, it could take five or six hours. With that knowledge of it, I set off.
The highlight of the tour had to be the view from the Tower of Buddhist Incense. It sits on the top of a large hill overlooking the lake and that is worth the climb. It was built as a place to worship (敬奉) Buddha. And in the Summer Palace, unlike most of other places, photography isn't allowed in most of the buildings. Most of the statues of Buddha and the other artifacts (手工艺品) are offlimits to photos.
Another highlight was seeing the stage created for the Dowager Empress where she watched the opera and other theatre items. There are box seats (包厢座位) that surround the stage and it is the largest stage created in all of Imperial China. You could almost imagine royalty (王室成员) reviewing the actors from the boxes and the stage.
I do recommend taking a boat ride if you go, which takes you from one side of the lake to the other side where you can see another set of buildings. And it is fun. You can also rent an electric or paddle boat if you want. But since it was just me, I went on one of the biggest boats with other people.
I spent another four hours wandering around the Summer Palace. But I didn't see all of it because it was getting dark. How I wish I could visit it again!
