by monday, we will be back to normal life. that means the long holiday is over & spending an afternoon in Beihai Park turned out to be a wise decision. it used to be the imperial palace of the emperors in successive dynasties, called the Winter Palace by Westerners. it's a sprawling park around a lake w/ lots of restored chinese pavilions. that enormous milk-bottle structure is what they call a dagoba, erected first in 1651 and later in 1741 in honor of the Dalai Lama's visit.

actually, we didn't have enough time to go to the northwest part of it. too tired & it's way too windy. gonna check it out some other time. anyways, the park is really neat.
