The Yuanmingyuan Park in Beijing has three major areas of interest. Major meaning it was at least an hour to explore each one of them. I was done with the first one and was already trying to move to the next one when I encountered a large body of water in the park. This was the Fuhai Lake and it is indeed the largest body of water in the park. As one would expect, this was a very nice place to walk around. I was trying to go around the lake to get to the next area in the park but I encountered a dead end where there was construction and there didn’t seem to be any way around it.
Because of this, I was forced to retrace my steps around the lake and try to find a way to the next area. Maps were not very common in this park and it was quite difficult to ascertain where I was in the park. There were some directions but they seemed to be more general. I was trying to look for a map to no avail. Anyway, I was merely trying to follow the arrows from the signs hopefully it will bring me somewhere interesting. Along the way, I was seeing some wonderful scenery. Wish I had someone to walk with.
