The New Summer Palace is a complex of scenic buildings and bridges among lakes and hills. It was where the Imperial court would decamp to when it got too hot in the city. We were there when it was pretty cold, but it was still quite lovely.

The Nationalities Park is a large Disney-like place dedicated to the celebration of China's multicultural diversity. As someone more clever than I described it, it's kind of like a zoo for minorities.
