China # 17 Summer Palace Imperial Garden in Beijing
This is just inside the entrance of the Summer Palace.
The Marble Boat
The Long Corridor
All the murals were really beautiful. We walked this 'Long Corridor' which the Empress apparently did after every meal.
We had a ride across the lake in a Dragon Boat.
There wasn't enough time to walk across The 17-Arch Bridge but we did get a good view after the boat ride. It's the biggest bridge in the Summer Palace, being 150 metres long, 8 metres wide, connecting the Octagonal Tower in the East and the South Lake Isle in the south.
This is another place I would have liked to have spent longer exploring as it really was beautiful.
