Well it's the last week in Beijing and I'm catching up on the last few things that I want to see before heading home. Today we spent the whole day at the Summer Palace way out on the outskirts of Beijing. The Summer Palace was originally built in the 1100's for the emperor to visit during the summer's when life became to stressful in the Forbidden Palace. As you can see from the pictures the grounds were huge and included the main palace as well as a gigantic lake, island included.
