I thought you all might be interested in our trip to Beijing! I will split it into 2 parts. Here we go!
After we got to Guangzhou, we stayed in our apartment for a few nights, then we flew to Beijing for orientation. We went early so that we could do some sightseeing. The main thing we did was go hike a section of the Great Wall! It was amazing! The view was beautiful! We were VERY hot! You ride a chairlift up to the Great Wall, then ride a toboggan down! (If you want) We had fun doing that! Tia was carsick on the way up, but as we were walking by the shops full of souvenirs, Dad says we can get something on the way back. Suddenly we have miss perky turkey over here, chattering about what she is going to get. (She got a parasol and a fan.) We had a great time! Here are the some of the pics I took.

One of the vendors had his donkey with him! It was
standing next to the Wall. I think it carries the vendors
stuff for him |

This is one of the many vendors on the Great Wall.
There is one outside of almost all the guard towers. |

Well, thats all I have to say about the Great Wall. We had a great
time and it was a great experience! I will be back with part 2 later!
