Advantages: great enjoyable seighseeing Disadvantages: some site is not well managed
The SummerPalace (Yiheyuan) was a very interesting place. The view just too good to be true, water of Kunming lake so clean and wide, and air is so fresh, for it's placed in Wanshou mountains. This palace was very large area, so you cant go inside and look everything here in just one day. The first visit from morning until dark you just see 1/5 area, for you have to walk non stop.
While you walk, the most often you will see is the hand painting ceilings and pillar，colored with red, blue, green, and with, sometimes gold. Gold color means king colors. Just king's stuff that using gold color.
So if wan to visit this place, plan visit it in several days, not just one day. ...
Advantages: See the history, experience the wonder Disadvantages: none
Giggle, giggle, chattter, chatter and lots of pointing.

Hearing the names of the SummerPalace, Imperial Garden's features is enough to describe ...
Advantages: Quality, Service Disadvantages: Rather small seating area
The SummerPalace Restaurant is situated in the heart of Llandaff City opposite the cathedral.
Parking is plentiful and free.
Reservations are almost always necessary as it is a very small restaurant and can get very busy.
The seating area in the bar is rather small and can get a bit cramped on a busy night, but if you have booked, there won't be a long wait until your table is ready. In the winter they put the 'coal' fire on to keep you cosy.
You can have a drink from the bar while you browse the menu and your order is taken before you are ushered to your table.
The menu doesn't stray far from an average chinese restaurant menu, but the quality is second to none. A little pricey, but you get what you pay for.
The tables are draped in spotless white linen and they are candle lit with fresh flowers.
If it's your ...
