Off to the Summer Palace and a boat ride across the man-made Kunming Lake. The Palace included a marble ship, the world's longest covered walkway, and lots of beautiful hidden gardens. One more stop for some must do shopping at the Pearl Factory.
The rest of the day was free for our choice of activities. The lost eleven (our late arrivers did a make-up tour of Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Most of the students found their way to the Beijing zoo, others went to tour a Chinese Temple, and others needed to have another shopping fix. Tastebuds led to places like McDonalds, Pizza Hut... for something familiar without the touch of soy sauce and rice.
The zoos major attractions seemed to be in shades of black and white. Giant Pandas, Zebras, Silvery Pheasants, and tiny monkeys. For fun read the sign in the slide show... and don't let any suddenness happen... whatever that means...
Evening started witha visit from the THREE KINGS (Lets see... we ARE in the ORIENT...) Creative use of bedding decorations compliments of Zachary Webb, Stephen Ochoa and Nicholas Paramo. Funny!
Check out the evening's appetizers... Grasshoppers, Seahorses, Scorpions.
The question of the day remains... Will everything fit in our suitcases as we prepare to head over to Shanghai...
