Summer Palace July 1st

The Summer Palace is a beautiful place; it overlooks a man made lake. It is really like a park. We walked around the lake looking at all of the numerous buildings on the property. Rachel, Sarah and I were looking in one of the windows of one of the numerous homes; we turned around to see that everyone was gone! We decided to look for the group; we had a pre determined location to meet. We decided to just explore on our own. We found a great shop and picked up some great gifts!
The Marble boat was amazing – it actually isn’t floating it is anchored to the ground. We cross the lake by boat to get to the front gate. The lake is filled with paddle boats – it is a great place to go on a hot day.
