Xiangji Temple is a famous temple along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. Its exterior walls and structures are decorated with copper, giving it an ancient and classic look.

Every photo is beautiful, and I wish I could share them all!

The cake at the exit was not delicious, and I took the wrong taste for me... There was more or less flavor in it, and I was dizzy after eating it. Especially the matcha.
