Brief Introduction:
|
In the morning, you will visit the Summer Palace, the largest and best
preserved imperial garden. It used to be a retreat for emperors to
escape the scorching summer heat in Beijing. The garden is so large
that it is scarcely enough to see in one day all the halls,
towers, pavilions, corridors, walkways and bridges that grace
the hill slopes, lake shore and islets.
In the afternoon, you will visit the Lama Temple. The temple is the most impressive and an active
Buddhist temple in the city. One of the prominent features of the temple is the 23-meter-tall
Maitreya Buddha, which was carved out of a whole trunk of white sandalwood tree from Tibet.
