  A gazebo of sorts A half-mile long highway  
   
  Buddhist Temple at the palace A ship made entirely of marble to represent that all countries are like ships...and the emperor did not want his ship to be sinkable so it is built on solid ground  
 
 
       
  Dad at the top of the first watch tower (that is as far as we went).  Whew, it was really windy, steep, and we were out of time to go further. A View of the East side from the bottom.  Dad and I made it to the first tower which is a little hard to see in this picture because it blends in with the mountain.
