Pictures

This grand building was built by an English businessman in 1930s as a residential house, once known as "Marble House".

At the entrance of the Children's Palace, there are two sculptures playing bugles.

On tours to Children's Palace, visitors are always moved by the naïve smiles of children.

The children paint what they saw and feel onto the paper and show them to the visitors.

Children and parents are playing push and pull at the grassland, and every team at one end of the rope must try hard to pull the other team through the middle line.
