It was very hot in Beijing. We didn’t want to miss out on visiting the Old Summer Palace (Yuan Ming Yuan) so we arrived here at about 9 am. It was already getting hot then.
The lakes were covered by beautiful lotus plants, with red, pink and white blooms.
Some ruins from of the buildings
It was a very photogenic place (pardon my photos, all taken with my iPhone). There were many photographers snapping away with impressive looking equipment…

We spent 2 hours exploring the garden. It was great having seen this lovely place, before we left Beijing. I had a great time in Beijing, and hope that you have enjoyed my photos.

Hi, Evelyn,
What a great correspondent you are!! Photos and the post are brilliant. Thank you.
Cheers, Sadami
Beautiful place, love the first shot!
I hope one day I can visit the Old Summer Palace! ;-)
As always Evelyn, most enjoyable. You could take a great photo with a shoe box with a hole in it and a three by five card; you have a great eye.
@Sadami
Thanks for you kind comment :). Glad you like the pics.

It's a beautiful place. If only I had gone there when the weather wasn't so hot. I think I could spend hours there.
@Linda:
