Today we went to the Summer Palace, a structure also build by the Chin dynasty, and to be honest, after you've seen one Chin Dynasty structure, you've seen them all. The beauty of the Summer Palace is in the landscaping, which is amazing. The lake is man-made and the longevity mountain is the dirt they took out to make the lake. Not the mountain below, the mountain the longevity structure is on. Every point you stop at has a beautiful view of the lake. It is simple indescribable.




No visitors except on party business. Dear old friends are excepted.

The last photo with the round door makes me think of an entrance to a Hobbit Hole.

We just came across your blog through the yahoo group, and wow it feels like we are back in China with your amazing pictures! We are sure you are starting to feel a little anxious too for getting to Guangzhou! Hang in there, and enjoy the rest of your trip. Your son is very cute!
