Today I took a tour to the Ming Tombs and the Great Wall of China. Or at least that’s what I thought the schedule was going to be. Actually besides the Tombs and the Wall, we also got what I suppose is the obligatory tour of a jade factory (which is actually 1 part factory and 100 parts jade gift shop) and a silk museum (which is actually also 1 part museum and 100 parts silk gift shop). But still the weather was good and I enjoyed seeing one of the 7 Wonders of the World.
This is one of the buildings we saw at the Ming Tombs.
These are some pics of the Great Wall. It is a steep climb up the steps or slope in a lot of places.
