it was once the summer palace of the Emperor

and 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 blossoms

and the lake has a bridge that crosses it…

and another bridge that crosses it…

and some boats that people enjoy in it

And there is a boardwalk that gets a lot of activity

And rules are posted about what you can and cannot do

and there is a pavilion or two

and there are lots of happy visitors when the weather is nice!
