Palace summer.
This on the outskirts of the city. It was built in the 18th century.
is where the royal court retired to rest during the summer. Rumour
that the spent half the year there, away from conflict.
And who can blame them. I in the place of that court, had done the same.
The Summer Palace is not in itself a palace. Is a complex of corridors and pavilions around a lake, the Kunming Lake. The buildings are like lost inside a big park.
In the complex, there is even a theater, and everything needed for the recreation of gentlemen.
