Summer Palace

China Day Four  

The Summer Palace is huge.  You can really tell these guys had money.  It faces a huge lake, which I believe was expanded by an emperor.  We walked down the longest hand painted hallway in the world.  True to their word it is really long.  Each 6 foot section has a picture painted on each of the beams and another picture on the ceiling.  When you hike to the top of the mountain that borders the houses and the lake you get a spectacular view.
