The Lakes District: Shichahai
by tdaxp ~ May 11th, 2007
After visiting Prince Gong’s Mansion, we walked along the narrow roads until we passed what appeared to be a very nice driveway. Stepping in, we quickly realized we were actually in a beautiful public garden…
… on beautiful Lake Shichahai.
Ducks, Docks, and Towers, oh my!
For anyone using a mapping application, you can view the duck island (that you’ll see below the fold) at 39 degrees 56′29.81″ N, 116 degrees 22′34.81″ E…

An amazing cool island, with miniature buildings, for ducks
The ducks thank you for your support
The fish, however, are probably not as thankful
