Beijing Summer Palace

Summer Palace

One of 2 Summer Palaces in Beijing. It is built around a HUGE man-made lake. They took the dirt from the lake and used it to build the mountains around it. Then they built the palace on the mountains. It is a truly beautiful sight!

I was there the same day the President of Pakistan was visiting so they had it closed off for about 15 minutes. Got some great pictures while the people were kept off of it. 🙂
