Our first excursion... to the Mu Tian Yu section of the Great Wall. Very impressive - you could see towers and wall an incredibly long way off in the distance. When you really think about how long ago this was built, it makes it even more "great". The Chinese characters in the hillside mean "Follow the Chair Mao" (I think I got that correct). To get up to the Great Wall, we rode a chair lift... to get back down, we rode in a toboggan... which would have been much more fun had the tourists in front of us not continually stopped (even under the "No Stopping" signs!!!) Fun first day of touring!
