How do you unwind after a long, busy day? For Isaac, a photographer from the United States, the answer is simple: head straight to the Summer Palace. Speaking of a sunset he saw there one day, he remarked that "While the sunset was nothing spectacular, it was still fun to watch." 

Perhaps that's one of Beijing's small gifts to those who live here. No matter where you come from, there is always some kind of landscape, garden, or peaceful corner of the city that can soothe your mind. So, come along and check out some of Isaac's photos of his cozy summer evening by a lake inside the scenic area.
