it was kind of drizzling and windy by 430pm, but me and clarence went on ahead to the imperial palace and gardens anyway.
a nice looking fountain along the way.

alright it sprung water for clarence only. (-_-`)

the outer palace isn't as grand as i expected, but since it's only opened twice in a year (emperor's birthday, 23rd dec and 2nd of jan i think for new year's day), no choice, have to take the walls only.





hugggge garden. i think.


with lots of such candle-trees growing along the way in the garden.

perhaps the entrance of the palace?


and just opposite the palace is the city area. such a contrasting sight.

ahhhhh so disappointing.
