On our second day in Beijing, we visited the Summer Palace, which is where the Emperor stayed when he wasn't busy gallivanting around the Forbidden Palace. The Summer Palace was by far the most beautiful of all the royal grounds we say. It is about a hundred different levels, basically carved into a rocky hillside and there are dozens of landings that look out over this big lake.
Pretty much every park or grounds we visited had groups of people, usually late middle aged or seniors, who were dancing and exercising to music they played on these little radios. The women hung their purses in the trees and everyone just rocked out. It was wonderful!
