    One of my most favorite places in the world! Been there twice, have no doubt I’ll go there again!!!

    My best advice for people visiting is to not visit it on a Chinese holiday weekend. You’ll walk about 2mile/hr the whole time.

    But it’s still pretty awesome!

    Haha! It’s like there everywhere in China! Especially in the shopping areas. It can be so frustrating. Definitely a different pace of life than in NY.

    Wow – you’ve been there twice? I’ve only visited in the dead of winter. Maybe next time, I’ll actually be able to see the Summer Palace in the summer time. Lol

    Yes, I’ve been to China many times haha!!! And well, it’s one of my
    favorite places there. It’s just so beautiful and I love wandering around the
    grounds, despite the hoards of tourists. :)

    Definitely go in the summer!!!!!!
