When it got too hot in the forbidden city the emperor went to chill out at the summer palace. A huge compound surrounding a beautiful lake, this place is the opposite of the busy city. Cool breezes, willow trees, and boats shaped like dragons. I only planned to spend an hour or so but ended up walking around the entire lake. It must have been good to be the emperor
The park by my hostel is famous for being the sight where the last Ming emperor hung himself. For some reason it is filled with stupid animatronic dinosaurs. I have no idea why.
