The main event on day two in Beijing was a trip to the Mu Tian Yu section of the Great Wall. During the two and a half hour drive north from Beijing, we saw foggy conditions all around us. Though, by late morning when we arrived at the wall, we were very happy to see the sun showing through and brightening and warming the day a bit.
The wall is a spectacular thing to see. The terrain on which it runs is steep and remote. The challenge that must have been faced to build this thing is unimaginable. With so many children in tow, it was too high to walk up to the wall, so we took the cable car. We walked for a couple of hours on top of the wall then took the Great Wall tobaggon ride back down. Fun !
