The Summer Palace

The Summer Palace

“We did Tai Chi at the Summer Palace, which I was also looking forward to doing in China.  It was a nice way to wake up after the long day of travel.  The Tai Chi definitely takes skill and flexibility.  We saw a large stone that is thought to bring bad luck it you take your photograph with it  The whole place was large with lots of history.”

Sara 

“The stories and history that we learned about the place were cool. We did Tai Chi here and it helped to wake me up.  The buildings, the lake and the marble boat were all amazing.  I felt honored to be the first of 2014 to ride the Dragon Boat on the lake- it just opened for the spring season”

Dakota 

“I liked the boat ride and the lake. It was a very relaxing way to finish the morning of exploring the grounds.”

Kade 

“The Tai Chi we did at the start of our tour was super fun.  Getting to do the first Dragon Boat ride of the year was so lucky—the ride was great.”

Kavyn 

“These grounds were breathtaking as was this experience as it was the first thing we experienced on the tour.  Seeing the long corridor / hallway was crazy as there were so many paintings.”

Stefan

I really enjoyed this place as we did Tia Chi in the morning in a courtyard in the Summer Palace.  It was really peaceful and relaxing.  I also like all of the statues, rocks and paintings.
