Foxiangge, Summer Palace, Beijing
 
The one structure that dominates the views at the Summer Palace is Foxiangge, the Temple of
Buddhist Virtue. It sits midway up a hill and can be seen from almost anywhere on the palace grounds. Another reminder of why not to take a tour: While the temple was open to the public we didn't have the time to enjoy it.

Anne and I would love to go back on a beautiful sunny day. We can imagine just how beautiful it is. Continue to the next page for pictures of local Chinese market ...
