My husband and I are going to visit Florida, and I was quite disappointed to hear that they had closed it!

Didn't get up into the very front of the park area, though. Just in case security would be around (so missed Buddha that's supposed to be up there).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510202262575881589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3707428309210287756.post-59833328534235911412013-04-02T13:55:29.599-05:002013-04-02T13:55:29.599-05:00Your pictures are great-- I bought a condo last ye...Your pictures are great-- I bought a condo last year and the "clincher" on my decision to buy it was when I looked around the complex property, I noticed a fence with "no trespassing" signs and a building with strange looking decoration or windows in the distance. When I got back home,I looked up the area on Google maps and found that this was the abandoned Splendid China. That was it-- I had to buy it! I will be going in down in a few weeks and maybe this time I can get up the nerve to explore. It looks like where you went it (near Potala Palace) was the opposite end of the park. Am I right? Did you venture up closer to the parking lot area?

So didn't run into any security, fortunately. Which is a shame, because there are some cool looking monuments up near the front.<br /><br />I was also very careful to not damage anything or to draw any attention to myself. Luckily the moon was full, so getting around wasn't too bad.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510202262575881589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3707428309210287756.post-64554463721994936462013-01-18T17:23:11.911-06:002013-01-18T17:23:11.911-06:00Beautiful!!!!!
