Standing tall atop one of Beijing’s highest hills, the Tower of Buddhist Incense dates back to the mid 1700s. Impressive but ultimately a bit useless because it was so high, it and the buildings around it lacked the conveniences required by the Qing emperor and was rarely visited - except now, by tourists • #China #中国 #Beijing #北京 #SummerPalace #颐和园 (via @sasapetricic)
