Trip to China - 12

My last Day and what better way to spend it than a visit to the Beijing Botanical gardens. It is situated Southeast of the Fragrant Hills about 18 kilometres from Beijing, They were established in 1955.The flowering of the Tree peonies here was much better than anything I had seen so far, I suppose this was due to slightly cooler temperature nearer the fragrant hills, thus ensuring later flowering than further south.
