 A Peking Paradise

    The Summer Palace is located just outside Beijing in China. It is one of the biggest and most famous existing royal gardens in the world. It covers an area of more than 800 acres including a huge lake called K’unming Lake.

   The Palace was used by the emperors and empresses of China. It was begun in the 13^th century, but it wasn’t until 17^th century that man-made hills, halls, pavilions, pagodas, towers and bridges were added. Unfortunately, the palace was destroyed in 1860 by a fire, but was rebuilt in 1865.

   The Summer Palace is so well-preserved that visitors can still enjoy its beautiful features today. One of the most famous sights is the Marble Boat which is two storeys high and 25 m long with four dragon heads that spout water. There is also the magnificient white marble Seventeen-Arch Bridge which has over 500 lions carved on it, and Suzhou Market Street, a copy of a traditional street where the royal family used to do their shopping.

   The palace itself is a museum with rich collection of precious antiques and priceless treasures from various Chinese dynasties. It also contains the sight you must not miss; the world’s longest handpainted covered walkway, known as the Long Corridor. Its walls are covered in unique handpainted images and colourful designs.

   A visit to the Summer Palace and its gardens will take up the better part of a day, but it’s well worth it. You shouldn’t miss it if you travel to Beijing.
