Silver & Gold Bridge in Hutong

We stepped off of the rickshaw for a few minutes to explore the Silver & Gold Bridge spanning the lake in the Hutong of Beijing. These lakes are connected to the canal system of the Forbidden City. We saw several boats navigating through the canals while we were on our tour. It was such a warm day that a boat ride would have been a nice way to cool off. I think the temps were hovering around 32* Celsius! Hot!!!
