Summer Palace

Somewhere halfway through our journey, I started being so lazy that I forgot to write anything for the blog. So now that I'm back and have access to Blogger again, I'll post some more. I'll keep this entry a bit short, since it's a bit late.

I want to give you an overview of the Summer Palace. It was the residence of Empress Cixi, and a very beautiful place. The Empress liked luxury, and that was obvious judging by the size of her palace and how beautiful everything was. Ornaments and paintings covered the whole place, and there was barely an inch on walls or columns that wasn't covered in bright colours.

It's a place I definitely want to see again and spend some time exploring. The park was huge, and we didn't really have time to see it as a whole, since we had a guide and a schedule that didn't leave a single second to spare.

Stay tuned for the next post, and see you soon!
