The pinnacle of Chinese architecture is none other than the Summer Palace!

Its predecessor was the Garden of Clear Ripples, and as an ancient royal garden, it's unbelievably beautiful! 😍 The Jiangnan-style water town beauty of Suzhou Street, the glittering and splendid Tower of Buddhist Incense, the picturesque West Causeway ancient willows, and the festive Long Corridor...
