Wow, great pictures, Billy. I never got a chance to visit that part of China while I lived there... Though I'm not sure how warm the welcome would have been.

Hushan means Mout Tiger. Based on the lastest research, the Ming Dynasty Great Wall starts from Hushan. The outer side is the North Korea.

Billy · 06-08-2006, 11:52 PM

The wall was reconstructed on the original site.

Fin Island, including 7 small islands, is donated by Chinese goverment. Now N Korea plant for reserving state commissariat.

You can see that the army are working there by hand.

Man, Hushan is another place I really wanted to visit.

If I ever get around to it, i'll post the pictures I took last week at the national cultural... somethingorother.

Great pics as always, Billy. Thanks for sharing them. The weather looks pretty overcast and gloomy--is that typical?

Griff · 06-09-2006, 10:52 AM

Well done, Beestie.

It's amazing what Beestie can do with his connections.

All the park was destroyed by the American and English United Army in 1860. So it is a ruin park today.

It includes three parks: QiChunYuan (Garden of Blossoming Spring), Changchunyuan(Garden of Eternal Spring) and Yuanmingyuan (Garden of Perfect Splendor).

Palace Gates of Qichunyuan:
In 1987, two new gates-the outer and inner gates-sere built, together with palace walls and side gates. They now serve as the main gates to the whole park.
