Yuan Ming Yuan or Old Summer Palace

Beijing, China

They've fenced it off! The elaborate European style surviving archways and the clam fountain. No more thousands of feet climbing over the 250+ year old ruins. Good plan! I did enjoy climbing on the in the past but fencing off will preserve this historic site much better/longer.

Send a Compliment

Hi Jan,
got in to comment but if I want to leave a compliment(the blue highlighted phrase which I clicked on)...I cannot get in...hmm go figure...

That is one place I missed going for a visit...Arrived in Spring but apparently it was a long winter that year and the blossoms are barely out ...so not worthwhile going to visit overall...thats what my friend said...

Are you in Beijing for business too or just leisure...
Can you reply here??!! :)
