China 1999

This is my experience in China in the Summer of 1999. If you came to this webpage first, it's better if you start from the beginning of the story. 7/15/99 Temple in Summer Palace, Beijing I call this temple the Temple of Stairs because the amount of stair climbing to get to it. Those diagonal structures (including the covered structures) in the picture are stairs. I took this picture from across the lake. Note the smog. The current temperature is 250 million degrees Farenheit. The next picture in this daily entry shows a closeup of the group of buildings on the rightside of this picture.
