We eventually got to the high portion of the Mutianyu Great Wall. Given the hoards of people at all of the other sites we visited in Beijing, the solitude we found on this part of the wall was much appreciated. The Ming tombs were a nice place to know and visit. You can see how Chinese honor their ancient rulers. Our guide Susan was excellent and provided us not only with information about the sites we were visiting, but also about life in China in general. Susan’s English was very good which made it easy to visit with her. We liked her easy going manner.
