China and Korea
In September we went to China to walk parts of the Great Wall around Bejing (see map). Before our hike we had a couple of days to explore Bejing's "Forbidden City", the old city and the Tian’anmen Place. We were quite happy to leave the smoggy city to start our ten day hike on the Great Wall. People were really nice and welcoming. We enjoyed traditional and delicious food and the beauty of China's North. In Gubeikou we were lucky to see a traditional weeding. At the end of our tour Bejing's famous Cricket Player gave us a little show.
