The northwest Corner Tower is one of the landmarks of the Forbidden City and Beijing in general. With its intricate roof and multiple ridges, it is typical of ancient Chinese architecture.

Built just within the palace wall and a moat, rising into blue sky and white clouds, the Corner Tower represents the wisdom of ancient people.

It is worth noting that the layered style not only looks attractive, but it served as a protective structure by integrating the architectural elements of the wall, tower, pavilion and castle.

Let's take a look at how the changing seasons paint the Corner Tower in different lights.

A heart-shaped field of rape flowers was recently photographed in Yongfu County in Guilin, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Tourists enjoyed the field's beauty on Feb. 13 and 14.


********

This farmer can charge a small entrance fee.
.
And you know, this heart-shaped rape flower field will be great biz idea if the farmer will compound it with the aerial photography service. The huge size objects will show their best looks from high altitude, and visitors will be happy to pay extra fees for such services.

Btw I at first thought the rape/rapeseed/canola flowers 芸苔子 just grow well at those highlands like Tibet, Qinghai and other high altitude places. The flower fields are so beautiful when they turn into yellow in summer, yes in summer, I mean the Qinghai Lake in summer, in July the canola fields are the prettiest over there :-) The local Tibetan folks there make use these breathtakingly beautiful landscapes by renting out their yaks to visitors for taking lifetime memorable self pictures riding on a yak surrounded the awesome yellow canola fields, RMB 20 for a brief photo session :-) good biz
