The Summer Palace...

... is not really a place to visit on one of the coldest days in Beijing. The Beijing wind burned my cheeks and made me question my own humanity. I trekked about 90% of the grounds in the bitter cold. The Summer Palace was a gorgeous sight and the scenery made the cold weather a bit more bearable. I would love to revisit again at a warmer time.
