Summer palace by extrajoce
The summer palace is set in a beautiful location, on the slope of a hill next to a superb lake surrounded by a lush vegetation. What makes it all the more impressive, and typical of China's extraordinary monuments, is that the hill was made from digging up the lake. In this sense, the palace is as stunning as the Forbidden City and the Great Wall: it gives the visitor a breathtaking insight into a unique and titanic civilisation.
