A first view of Kunming lake, with the Tower of of Buddhist fragrance and the great pagoda in the background.
A building in the administrative area
Yiyun Hall's facade. The tourists aren't allowed inside, so we must peer through the windows.
The living quarters of the last empress-dowager, in Yiyun Hall.
Bronze statues in the Hall of Happiness and Longevity (the empress Cixi's quarters)
A view of the gardens
Kunming Lake with the Seventeen-Arch Bridge.
It must be quite a view from up there. Unfortunately, we weren't able to go there. But you can see it
here.
The gateway to the boathouses
The marble boat and other buildings in the palace were built by the empress Cixi with money that was to be invested on a new navy.
The gate-tower of Cloud-Retaining Eaves
Steve and the girls on one of the bridges
