Summer Palace - Beijing

Since everything is closed during Spring Festival, and everyone returns to their hometowns, seemed like an ideal time to check out the new Summer Palace. This place is actually pretty big. Full of tea rooms, temples, places to hangout, guard towers, with a giant lake located in the middle. I bet this would have been a pretty legit place to come chill at back in the day. Now it's full of Chinese tourists, selfie sticks, and people commenting on me wearing shorts. Come on guys, 11 degrees Celsius isn't that cold.
