From Wikipedia:

"The Summer Palace or Yi he yuan (traditional Chinese: 頤和園; simplified Chinese: 颐和园; pinyin: Yíhé Yuán; literally "Garden of Nurtured Harmony") is a palace in Beijing, China. The Summer Palace is mainly dominated by Longevity Hill (60 meters high) and the Kunming Lake. It covers an expanse of 2.9 square kilometers, three quarters of which is water. The central Kunming Lake covering 2.2 square kilometers was entirely man made and the excavated soil was used to build Longevity Hill. In its compact 70,000 square meters of building space, one finds a variety of palaces, gardens, and other classical-style architectural structures."

Excellent POV, I don't remember having seen the lake from that point and you managed to make me think again - I was not very impressed by that place but the pagoda looks really nice that way ! Just beautiful,
TFS,
Cath.

It is a beautiful building and the way you framed it with the trees is excellent. The colours are superb and the sharpness is very good. Well done.
Antonio

Hello Chris,
A very nice capture of this pagoda like structure well framed by the trees. The colourful tones of the building stand out well against the powder blue sky. Superb colours and clarity.

Hello, cher Chris,
Je suis heureux de retrouver vos photographies (absence campagnarde, maison de campagne).
Une vue qui semble irréelle et pourtant !
Très belle mise en image.
Un régal.
Amitiés.

Hi Chris, great view of splendid architecture with fantastic colors, very well done, have a good Sunday, ciao Silvio

Olá Chris, the name of the lake captured my attention. I've been in Kunming, but not in Beijing...Great composition of the wonderful architecture emerging bettween the trees. I like to see the inclusion of the winding stone handrail in FG, almost as a serpent passing by.
Have a nice sunday,
ricardo

Namaste Chris
Superb colours. Like the contrast between the warm red & yellow with the blue of the sea & sky. A typical example of Chinese architecture, well framed with the foliage. Good work!

Hello Chris
When I see this beautiful picture, I get angry because there was no way to go to the top for this shot, our tour let us see the palace only from near the lake.
Friendly regards - Izzet
