Summer Palace- Beijing

While we were in Beijing, we went to the Summer Palace. This is where the emperor's wife would spend the summers. It was huge! She had a huge palace and a huge man made lake. The whole palace was over 300 acres.

One of the shops in the grounds of the Summer Palace.

The queen's boat made of marble that looks over part of the lake.

Me in front of the boat and part of the lake. Note: this part of the lake that you can see is only a small portion of the lake.

The queen's palace on the hill looking over the lake.

Another portion of her palace.

Natalie, me and Jessica on the boat ride to the other side of the lake.

Another view of this huge man made lake.

We found a Chinese band playing near this pavilion.

Yet another portion of the lake.

Me and the back of Josh's head on the bridge over part of the lake.
