You may have noticed that the previous post was primarily about the 59 foot tall duck.
And yet, I must apologize, since I didn’t have any pictures of the duck.
So, as I don’t want to disappoint my loyal readers,
here is the duck in all its glory!
And, yes, I realize that the Summer Palace deserves so much more recognition than a duck.
I plan to visit it again in the Winter and will do an more in-depth post on it with more information and history about this gorgeous park.
