Pics of China

Hello everyone,

We are travelling around the city and enjoying ourselves. We went to the Summer Palace yesterday and it was really picturesque. It would of been a beautiful place to escape the Summer heat. Today, we walked around the city. There is construction everywhere. It is unbelievable. They are getting ready for the summer Olympics. Here are a few pics from our travels. The first one is of the man-made lake at the summer palace. It is a cool place.
This is a pic of a door at the Lama temple. We have been visting some nice places at sunset so we are getting some nice pics.
As you can tell this is us on the Great Wall. It was an amazing walk, we had a great day.
A close up. The wall is so hugh.
This is Tianemen Squarwe at night. Not the best pic.

The Great Wall at Samaitai. It is a long walk to the top.
This is one of the buildings at the summer palace.
They say the wall ressembles a dragon because the wall climbs up and down the hills.
A pic of the Summer Palace Buddist Temples. The strucutre was grean and gold. A really beautiful contrast.

The summer palace has a pear shaped lake and the hill ressembles a bat. The builidings climb up the man made hill. It's a cool place.

Tommorrow, we are going to the South to where Comorade Mao was born. We are taking a 16 hour night train and arrive at 6Am. We hope it's a little warmer in the South. Then of to Guilin then maybe a Chinese beach and then Thailand.
