Forget the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace is the place to be. Not only does it have its own lake (where we decided it would be fun and faster to get a pedal boat and "bike" across it. Even with furious pedaling from the 3 of us we barely moved and in a hour we were only able to make across the width of the lake and back instead of the length of it where we would have seen more) but it has buildings and walkways and beautiful bridges and landscaping everywhere. In the words of Meg Ryan from the movie French Kiss, "Beautiful, gorgeous, wish you were here" or in my case "wish I was living here"...The guy in the picture who is making art on the sidewalk was neat to watch. He had attached a bottle filled with water to his self-made paint brush and "painted" with water. So, he could just keep on painting new things as his old art work would dry up. He was really pretty good.
