Along the streets the trees are changing colour. We find ourselves at Beihai Park. This local attraction is home to many ancient temples and pavilions used centuries ago by royal members. Step into the gate at sunrise. Transport back in time to when nature could sing lullabies. Sometime later, we are under the warm sun at the Palace museum. Ladies in traditional fashion are seen walking along the river side. Their beauty and aromatic perfumes drift on the autumn breeze. As the sun sets the shadows are seen dances on the walls. Trees in the garden play like shadow puppeteers. A myriad of leaves cover the red walls. Beijing plays a song of mysteries. The ancient architecture has a language of its own.
