As sunlight pierces the arches of the Seventeen Arch Bridge at Beijing's Summer Palace, it creates shimmering tunnels of golden light that illuminate the surrounding park. This spectacular phenomenon only lasts for about 20 minutes each day at around 4 p.m. Built in the 18th century, the bridge is one of the most popular spots in the ancient gardens, attracting thousands of visitors each year looking to catch a glimpse of this amazing sight each winter.
