PCWalton1 Posted April 27, 2018 Author #508 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Next it was off to the Summer Palace. The Summer Palace is a vast ensemble of lakes, gardens and palaces in Beijing, China. It was an imperial garden in Qing Dynasty. Mainly dominated by Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake, it covers an expanse of 2.9 square kilometres (1.1 sq mi), three-quarters of which is water.

PCWalton1 Posted April 27, 2018 Author #513 Share Posted April 27, 2018 We then stopped at a pearl factory where I was the good husband and got Marie pearl earrings and pendant. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCWalton1 Posted April 27, 2018 Author #514 Share Posted April 27, 2018 After we headed to dinner, duck dinner. Yum. To properly eat the duck you take one of the rice wrapper or pancake. Add a couple of pieces of duck, some slivers of cucumber and scallions, don't forget the sauce. Roll it up and eat it. Also tried duck bone soup (I thought it needed seasoning). Delicious dinner.

PCWalton1 Posted April 27, 2018 Author #515 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Our day was not over as we were off to the opera. I figured you can't come to Beijing without seeing a Chinese opera. It was a series of 3-4 short stories. Marie enjoyed the first story called the Crossroads. Most of the story had two guys in a sword fight where the premise was the room was pitch dark. Prior to the show starting one of the actors was putting on makeup and costume. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCWalton1 Posted April 27, 2018 Author #519 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Good morning, it's morning here in China. Our last full day about to start and we will be heading out to the Great Wall and the 2008 Olympic village Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCWalton1 Posted April 28, 2018 Author #520 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Wow, 24 hours and not a comment or question about the Forbidden Palace? Maybe the Great Wall will peak your interest. [emoji39] Our legs are worn out so instead of going to the section of the Great Wall we'r had planned we went to Badalang so we could ride the cable cars up and down. We still did some climbing up to one of the towers, no to be total slackers. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
