After getting up really early and having breakfast at the Club Lounge at our hotel, the Renaissance Beijing Wangfujing Hotel we catch the subway to Dongzhimen Subway Station where we meet our guide from Mubus who will take us to the Great Wall of China.

Mubus is a cost effective way of visiting the Great Wall, they take care of the transport and also offer tickets at cost price.

It took about an hour and a half to arrive at the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall of China and then we caught the cable car to the top.

Once on the Great Wall of China we walked all the way to watch tower number 20 before coming back down. In total we spent a good couple of hours on the Great Wall of China and it was a great experience.

We got a buffet lunch at the Mubus Family centre in Mutianyu Village before getting their bus back to Beijing.

In Beijing we go shopping on Wangfujing Street and get some food in Qianmen Street before stocking up on supplies for our train journey tomorrow at Walmart.

    The surroundings were enveloped in mist, unusually quiet, when suddenly thousands of enemies appeared. It has a very cinematic atmosphere. 👍

    What you bought is crystal sugar strawberry skewers, and the outer layer is crystal sugar , which can be eaten directly.

  • The outer packaging of the candied haws is edible, and its function is to keep your hands clean.

    Thank you for sharing your family journeys with us! Thank you for telling the truth of China as well as sharing the details information! It is fog 🌫️ that you are seeing NOT smog. China has been doing clean air since 2008.
