Beijing: Great Wall and Ming Tombs (March 17)


Our first stop today was the Badaling section of the Great Wall of China.

It was very impressive, and a steep climb!

 
The other major destination today was the Ming tombs to see the one erected by and for the third Ming Emperor.


The day was inevitably riddled with rest stops and meeting places that happened to be (no doubt purely be coincidence) within gift shops.

In the evening we were taken out to a traditional Peking Duck dinner that was a liberal interpretation on the real meal. The food was good and the company at our table pleasant resulting in an enjoyable outing followed by an enjoyable return to our hotel and to bed.
