Summerstone

Summerstone Castle is the residence of the Wuhuan President, and Government meetings and announcements are made there. Summerstone Castle overlooks Duckling Lake, a landmark that some argue proves that the Castle existed before Maka Wuhu's eruption in 1809 due to the bottom of the lake being terraced. This perhaps suggests that a town was there before being destroyed in 1809. Most historians however hold the view that the castle itself was built after the eruption. The nearby Summerstone Falls is an extraordinary natural feature from which 7 tons of water per second cascades from a height of 110 meters!
