Beijing Day #3

Monday, April 30th

Today we will visit the Great Wall of China at Mutianyu and the Ming Tombs.

First stop of the day was at the Ming Tombs. Really not much to see but the relics displayed were very beautiful...











Then it was on to the Great Wall at Mutianyu. The crowds were unbelievable!!! We took the chair lift up to the base of the wall.





Enjoying a local beer as we climb the Wall






AMAZING......AWESOME.....I can't believe we are really here!!!






Charlie with Angela..our guide for Beijing


This is an example of the traffic we experienced leaving the Wall.....our driver was following another car down the oncoming lane of a two lane road!!!!!! Bus was bigger than us.....


We added the KungFu Show on our last night in Beijing. The show was recommended by an Australian man we met in Xi'an...it was OK but nowheres as good as the Acrobatic Show.
