Trip to ChengDe, China

Fourteen BYU teachers got together for a two day trip to ChenDe, some 250 Kilometers from Beijing, and to the summer palace of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. There are also two Tibetan style Temples, including one that is aptly named the Little Potala Palace, modeled after the more famous big brother in Lhasa, Tibet.
Enjoy!
