China Day One: Beijing

After leaving Japan, we made our way to China's capital of Beijing and joined our tour group that we had booked months back. 

The first stop is a must for any newcomer to China:  The Great Wall.  It is breathtaking.

 

There were many, many steps to walk up and down.

The way down the Great Wall is by toboggan.



 That night we had Peking Duck, a delicious Chinese meal.

Then we went to a Kung Fu show.  It was a story about a warrior monk.  The talent was good, the story was dramatic... It was a great way to welcome us to China.
