Beijing (China) -- Pictorial works.
Description:
This pavillion is built close to a pond that is completely choked up with weeds. These ponds are the usual accompaniment of buildings built for recreation and as they are generaly neglected a rank vegetation springs up from them exhaling most unpleasant odours during the hot season, this however seems in no way to affect the nasal organ of celestials.
