Lili and I went to the Summer Palace, and decided that it was our favorite touristy destination in Beijing. We managed to escape from the crowds, and climb up the hill that overlooking the lake as well as the outskirts of the city. We climbed rock formations around former buddhist temples, and went around the lake crossing several unique bridges. Willows gracefully swayed on either side of us as we walked around the park. Although it was a tourist spot, it was serene just walking along the path around the lake. Lili said that when she got married she'd want willows on either side of the main aisle. I'm sure that can be done...otherwise, she'll have to have her wedding in the Summer Palace in Beijing. =)
We followed this older lady all the way up the stairs to the top of the mountain. Chinese old ladies can really move...

The hill that we climbed is in the background, and so is the lake!
