it was once the summer palace of the Emperorand there’s a gate at the North End with parking nearby on the street (this is actually a gate from the Great Wall area)and it has a beautiful lake with trees around it……including cherry blossomsand the lake has a bridge that crosses it…and another bridge that crosses it…and some boats that people enjoy in itAnd there is a boardwalk that gets a lot of activityAnd rules are posted about what you can and cannot doand there is a pavilion or twoand there are lots of happy visitors when the weather is nice!
why the Summer Palace in Beijing reminds me of Spring Lake
I too see the similarities with Spring Lake. This gate at the North End seems a tad bit more ornate than the one in Spring Lake .
Love the photos especially of the Emperor.

Wait until you see the Emperor’s jacket I will be coming home with!
I love it!! I happened to go for my walk on Spring Lake boardwalk after seeing these fun pictures and smiled the whole time. Miss you.
