Excellent pictures, Eric!

Thanks for sharing them. I love Chinese architecture, it's so ornate and intricate.

But it doesn't sink, either.
Good job, Eric, nice pictures, beautiful subject.

If the Summer Palace was in Beijing where was the Winter Palace?

There is a Winter Palace, I cannot remember where it is in China.
The Summber Palace and other Palace were heavily destroyed by the army allies of Western 8 countries. These palaces are the history mirror for us.

I want to say two things:

1) It is awesome that you guys (Eric and Billy) send us these incredible photos.
2) Your English is SO much better than my Chinese would be if I knew any at all...

Thanks again. Keep them coming!

You all help me improve English. Thank you again.
