Great Wall at Mutianyu Beijing

We woke up and had our favourite breakast of eggy bread, honey and watermelon and then set off for the day. We were going on an adventure to find the great wall, we decided we didnt need a stupid guided tour, we were explorers and we were going to get there by any means posible. We set off on the subway and found wallmart to find supplies for our …

Last night we went to a bar/club called 'J9'. Luckily it payed a lot of Western music but their drinks system was ridiculous and it took 20 minutes to get a bottle of beer... they obviously weren't used to the high amount of alcohol consumption that us Brits have. We only had a few but it was a goodnight.

Today we visited the Great Wall of …

Got picked up from our hotel this morning at half seven. Arrived at the Great Wall at quarter to nine. So excited!!!!! This was the top of my list of things to do on my travels.

Helloo,

Saying goodbye to everyone was really sad! I did cry a lot! but had to pull myself together. We got to heathrow and whilst sorting our huge backpacks out we got talking to a lady from New York. She told us she had a friend in Fiji and took our details, so …

I forgot how to spell TIPARARI. Anyway we're off to visit the Great Wall of China. I was wrong about our visit to the Jade Factory, we did that this morning on our way to the Wall. It really is a long way to this section of the Wall, MuTianYu. It takes us almost 90 minutes for us to get there. The countryside is beautiful and the mountains are …

The imminent prospect of getting off our final overnight hard sleeper train after 12 hrs was exciting. However coupled with the fact that we were arriving into the capital city of this monumentally enormous country was an acute awakening of all the senses. Nothing really highlights how incredibly large this population is until you have experienced …

I've never been the type for tour groups. On many occasions since I’ve been here, I’ve seen a herd of doe-eyed day-trippers in tacky hats and sweatshirts (that usually say something like "A Meeting of Cultures: Beijing 2012") following someone waving a tiny flag. A few times, I’ll accidentally end up in the throng and start …
