             The 
              lake which occupies three quarters of the area of the Summer Palace, 
              was 
              beautiful and provides a breathtaking view of Foxiangge, the Temple 
              of Buddhist 
              Virtue. We could only imagine how beautiful a sight it would have 
              been on a crystal 
              clear day. To bad it was so hazy, but we still enjoyed it.

            The bridges crossing the water were great photo opportunities. John, 
            my brother-in-law, took the picture at far left. |
