We went to the moat for a boat trip around the moat and up through the canals. The boats sails along gently without any noise. The sides of the banks are floodlit with coloured lights. There are many bridges to go under and each one is covered in chinese drawings and/or calligraphy on the inside. The bridges resemble the Golden Gate bridge and the Arc de Triomphe etc. There are several fountains in the middle of the lake. We passed a few stages where they were performing some chinese operas. We were grateful that we only had to listen to that for a few minutes but large chinese audiences sat enthralled listening to them.
It’s a bit Disneyland like, but quite pleasant.
