Beijing, China: The Summer Palace

Visited the Summer Palace today - overdose of Chinese-ness. Saw the famed marble ship that couldn't really sail and then waited a long time for the bus (but it did come), rushed to the train station (East and West stations are very different, you can obtain a refund for an unused train ticket) and made it on the train back to Hangzhou just in time.
