I did not leave the city this week, but in Beijing I visited a place called the Summer Palace. The Summer Palace was built by the emperors of China during the Qing Dynasty hundreds of years ago. It was built as a group of special palaces with gardens and lakes just for the emperor. The emperor was a ruler similar to a president in ancient times. He was very important and had control over all of China. Because there are so many gardens at the palace, I felt like I was surrounded by nature even though I was in the city.
More news coming!
