More Imperial Palace, Confucius Temple, Ming Tombs, Buddhist temples

Of course November is not the ideal time to tour a northern garden.  The Summer Palace is huge, and includes more temples, residences, a covered, open-air walkway with a thousand paintings, a lake, a royal "shopping district", and even a marble boat.  The bus takes about 45 minutes, and a wandering tour a couple days.  I ran out of battery power for pictures, but the first page photo is from there.
