Beijing- Today began with a walk through the park, where we heard musicians and saw old folks dancing and playing games near the 15th c. Temple of Heaven. Then I hiked solo for 3 hours along the Great Wall on a beautiful (but scorching) day and was featured in at least 30 pictures with Asian tourists holding up the peace sign. After dinner I saw a traditional Peking Opera show. Walker, you would have died- the vocals sounded like Halloween animatronics

  1. Have you tried dumplings and roast ducks? They are the famous and traditional Beijing dieshes. And also bird's nest soup? Its a delicacy in China.

    Enjoy your days~~~
