But yeah. Went to the summer palace today, and while everyone else went and walked around, my teacher (she came to hang out today!) and I walked around & had better adventures :P
晚安，早安！ (P.S. I'm sorry I'm obsessed with bridges - I didn't even realize it myself until after I captioned all of these pictures)
 |
| Really steep steps! |
 |
| So many bridges & water lillies/lotuses |
 |
| Lots of birds... though it's not clear |
 |
| Lots of gates, too! |
 |
| Flowers in the drainage area... |
 |
| After we got back, 2 of my teachers & 2 other classmates went to what is known as "The Muslim Place" ... the lamb kabobs were the best~ |
 |
| Pretty ivy! |
 |
| My teacher got me a bracelet - it's the first day of the Dragon Boat Festival (Duanwujie) & traditionally people wear this... though I didn't see anyone else wearing one lol |
 |
| We stumbled upon a concert! |
 |
| The top of the Summer Palace... we couldn't figure out how to get in at first |
 |
| Outside of the Palace |
 |
| 3 languages!! This guy was so cool~ |
 |
| Another bridge |
 |
| HA HA DRAGON BOAT (festival) |
 |
| The gate opposite the Palace |
 |
| Can you see the tower? (sorry, lame, but I had to) |
 |
| Apparently this is a really famous bridge because it has 17 arches... |
 |
| At the entrance |
 |
| DRAGON OMG |
 |
| This was a really long thing with traditional paintings all on the inside! Super cool... |
 |
| ALL THE BRIDGES |
 |
| A random painting? |
 |
| Bunnies! |
 |
| Summer Palace & mountains & water |
 |
| THIS BRIDGE ALL THE PICS |
 |
| The concert again! |
 |
| Summer Palace & boats |
 |
| OH LOOK ANOTHER BRIDGE |
 |
| The old CCTV tower in the back |
 |
| A restaurant |
 |
| I found another buns restaurant... dinner! |
 |
| FISHIES! |
 |
| A garden! |
 |
| CAN YOU BELIEVE ANOTHER BRIDGE |
 |
| The horse runs in the wind, I think? I don't remember. |
 |
| GUESS WHERE I TOOK THIS THAT'S RIGHT ON A BRIDGE |
 |
| Lions! ON ANOTHER BRIDGE I'M SORRY |
 |
| We broke the rules & climbed a large, very steep hill but still couldn't get into the Palace :( |
 |
| Lions & bridges & boats & the Palace! |
 |
| Also at the entrance, I think. |
 |
| Another concert & a lady was dancing |
 |
| Me & my teacher! |
