After a fantastic time in Vietnam and Cambodia we stopped for two days in a very cold Beijing. You will be glad to know that this time through we had no problems with immigration!
Although tired we spent the first day in a daze we had a great time wondering around the Forbidden City and Tiananamen Square. We ate Peking duck and went to a expensive tea ceremony.

On our second day we went to the Mutianyu part of the great Wall of China. We put on all of our clothes (well almost all) and set off for a day of exploring.
I wore 5 t-shirts, 2 pairs of socks, 2 scarfs,a hat, a pair of gloves, a jumper, a coat, my pyjama bottoms and a pair of jeans that day.
The signs were really funny.
Better than the view from Ditcheat hill?
