The summer palace is created by a woman named Cixi, she is the body in my novol named Empress Orchid. She built the summer palace with the Navy military expenditure. The marble boat is an amusing place and when I arrival here, it seems there are many people play a movie.
It is a fairtale of my life and I will always remember it. The sightseeing there is too much and I could not write now for my baby is crying. haha. I will come back soon.
Great Wall is the other place that I must mention, the section we visit is Jinshanling great wall, we also want to visit simatai great wall, but it seems shut down and on maintain. The day for this visit is very hot, after 4 hours hiking, it is one of the most difficult journey I have ever made, but we are exciting when we find the cool place with even 70 percent great wall all destroyed. Every second and the views, the feeling during the Great wall will stay with me forever.
