Vandalized. Read the various pages and not sure what to do. So I thought I'd put a blip up here. --Gryn 03:31, 27 August 2005 (UTC) Unvandalized, yeah! --Gryn 15:17, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image quality and number

The technical quality of most of the images is very poor; the primary subject is generally underexposed, and in the case of the primary image, the image is essentially unsalvageable. The bridge picture is salvageable, but is not properly licensed.

Also, my understanding is that Wikipedia is not a photo gallery. I don't believe the photo collection at the bottom is justified. --David Woolley 16:02, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Well, I think Wiki should try to collect the best content on a particular subject. I think the gallery is great, and wish other articles did this.

Anyway, I came here because the two first images in the gallery have unclear licensing terms and will likely be deleted. I was looking for suitable replacements on Flickr, and found one so far (Image:Summer Palace Kunming Lake.jpg). And this one could replace the poor-quality one at the top of the article. Take a look, there are some great ones there (note the variations on keywords!):

• cc-by Yiheyuan
• cc-by Summer Palace
• cc-by SummerPalace
• cc-bysa Yiheyuan
• cc-by-sa Summer Palace
• cc-by-sa SummerPalace

Hope this comes in handy! :) Foofy 07:27, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] First image replacement

I have replaced the old image with this new one. The old one was too dark and impossible to correct. Foofy 00:06, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
