The Marble Boat

When visiting China in 2008, we went to the Summer Palace.  It consists of many gardens & many lakes and it is gorgeous.  At the Summer Palace is found The Marble Boat built in 1750 A.D. during the Qing Dynasty.  Obviously, the boat cannot float, it was used by Empress Cixi for lakeside dining and receptions.
