Wall. Other than the fact that I didn't realize how afraid of heights I
really am until I was on the chair lift to the top, the Wall was
amazing. The pictures don't really do it justice. We went to the
Mutianyu section - supposedly less toursity, but still very cool. It was
a LONG drive out there - we are fairly certain that our driver drove us
in a giant circle, as it took 3 1/2 hours to get there (seriously), but
only 2 hours to get back after I asked if there was a more direct route.
We hiked along one section (it's a tough hike - lots of steep stairs as
the Wall winds around the mountain), and then took the toboggan down.
Yes, you can actually sled down the Great Wall - very very cool. :)
While we are having a good time in Beijing, we are very ready to move on
to Kunming. Beijing is so crowded and polluted. I don't know how anyone
lives here.
Lots of Love from China, Mara & Chris
