The Summer Palace was another one of my very most favorite things we did in all of China. It's a beautiful courtyard and park with a big pond and boats and it's so awesome. We went on a Sunday and it was a very good Sunday activity.
Shortly after we got there, we walked past these three little girls and I just couldn't stand how cute they were, so I asked their parents if I could take their photo. The rest of the day I just took pictures of cute people and it was seriously glorious.
Anywho, it was gorgeous and awesome and I still love it.
We also went to the Olympic Plaza which was insanely crowded but cool. We only walked around it and didn't go into any of the buildings, but it was still really cool to see them in person after religiously watching the Beijing olympics all summer with my grandma in 2008.
Also look at this adorable little family!
Also also the pollution was insanity but it made some real awesome sunset photos.
The next day we went to Bei Hai Park which was real awesome and I liked it lots. There were old couples dancing, people playing instruments and singing, and people all over dressed in holiday outfits. It's like the Central Park of Beijing.
Here's an 8-second video of old people dancing to Scarborough Fair sung in Chinese.
