After the snow, the Summer Palace

With the baptism of the first snow, the Summer Palace seems to have returned to the glorious days of the great Qing Dynasty. Every building, every patch of woodland, is adorned with snowflakes, enhancing their classical beauty. The North Ruyi Gate, a corner that usually doesn't attract much attention, displays a different kind of tranquility and harmony in the snow. Along the banks of Kunming Lake, snowflakes gently drift over the water surface, and the ancient buildings by the lake, set against the snow, appear even more solemn and elegant. The most heart-stirring sights of the Summer Palace after the snow are undoubtedly the galleries and pavilions. Walking towards the Tower of Buddhist Incense along the shore of Kunming Lake, the snow-covered bridges seem to lead to another world. And the Tower of Buddhist Incense itself, standing there, you can see the entire lake covered in snow, forming a natural scroll. When you wander near the Hall of Happiness and Longevity, you will find that every step is on the footprints of history, and every glance is a gift from nature. In every corner of the Summer Palace, there are memories of history hidden. The Summer Palace after the snow is not only a beautiful natural landscape but also a witness to history. From the Pavilion of Knowing Spring, you can see the panoramic view of the Tower of Buddhist Incense. This place is not only an excellent spot to appreciate the snowy scenery but also the best place to feel the interweaving of history and reality.
