Up a level
This is the summer palace, it's famous for its chi-chi style (she actually lived here) and for the longest corridor ever (personally it didn't look a patch on newnham) Tue Apr 04 09:29:16 2000

This is the pagoda for dispersing the clouds, judging by the sky it needs a kama refil. Tue Apr 04 09:30:08 2000

Chi-chi's famous jade boat. Tue Apr 04 09:41:14 2000
The jade boat is made of "White jade", now I personally think what happened here was that Chi-Chi said something like: "I demand a boat made of Jade - you know that pretty white shiny thing" and the workmen were to scared to say well actually your highness jade is green, so they invented special "white jade" to solve the problem...
