The first glimpse of the Great Wall is pretty impressive.
We use the very same car to the top that Bill Clinton, Former American President,
used when he visited in 1998
The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is very attractvive and has many watchtowers on overlapping mountain ranges, with green pines and cypresses covering 90 per cent of the section.
We walk from Watchtower 14 to 6.
It's much quieter than we expected,
and the weather is perfect.
The fun part is taking the toboggon down.
No photos unfortunately, too busy holding on!
After lunch we take time to relax at the nearby hot spring resort
(again no photos for obvious reasons),
before heading back to the city to visit the Bell and
Drum Towers.
Then it's a leisurely stroll around Lake Qianhai
for deep fried ribs at Xiao Wang's waterside restuarant
and a quick drink in the Jazz Bar before bed.
Tomorrow it's bye bye Beijing.
