Day 4

Summer Palace-
This is the place that the emperor would escape to relax. It consisted of all the land around this big lake- and I mean big like the size of Island Park reservoir. It was beautiful and I would try and imagine what it would be like to live there, without all the tourists everywhere. We spent the whole day there just touring through the restored temples.
