The part 1 of the Summer Palace Series in Beijing. It's one of the largest historical area I've ever been so far...The area's bloody huge and I took approx. 3 hours to tour the whole palace complex. The first part of the summer palace is the so called Suzhou Street..well Suzhou Street in Beijing? You must be kiddin me! But yes.. this mock Suzhou Street was a shopping street built in the Summer Palace with typical street scene in the lower Yangtze Valley. During the Qing Dynasty period, this street was built for the empress and concubines for leisure and stroll. The palace officials will act as traders in the shops around at that time along this 300 metres long street.

and here we go!
That's where we got down to the street
A video clip of the surrounding...Watch it!!! You're gonna like it
Today the street looks exactly what it was in the early days with the 18th century mood in China..everything was preserved and restored very well and is thronged by tourists who come for souvenirs.
Weeping willow by the small river and you could enjoy the relaxing scenery on the boat as well as musics from Chinese flute around..
