Today we were able to visit the Great Wall at Mutianyu, approximatley 60 miles north of Beijing. It was a cloudy and somewhat rainy day (and incredibly humid!), but we managed to take some great pictures and enjoy ourselves. The views are incredible -- even when much of it is blocked by the clouds!
Mutianyu is unique in that you take a gondola ride up to the Great Wall and then take a toboggan ride down the mountain back to the bottom! Unfortunately, the weather did not allow us to take the toboggan ride (which was a bummer.....).
After walking the wall for approximately an hour, we were pretty tired and slept most of the way back to the hotel. We then went to the Silk Market for some incredible bargains!
