Jumping in Beijing's Summer Palace

What's great about staying at hostels is that you meet many fellow travelers. People like you who are wandering the world, driven by their curiosity towards other cultures and people. A downside to meeting many travelers, however, is that you often get jealous of the travels others have done 😅.

Petulia is one of those people traveling around the world for many months, with many months left to travel. Grrrr, UNFAIR! But my jealousy was put aside when I learned that Petulia was also a professional picture jumper, taking crazy jumping pics in every place.

We took too many pictures that day to have them all here, but I can tell you it was a hell of a day!

The Summer Palace is a peaceful and vast area in Beijing, full of parks, lakes, ponds, and monasteries. In 1860, the place was attacked by an Anglo-French army. Now, every 100 meters, you can see signs stating that this building was rebuilt after the English and French burnt it down… Ahem…
