Day 3: The Great Wall and Cloisonne Factory




Day 3:  The Great Wall and Cloisonne Factory
 
We started out the day touring the Cloisonne factory just outside of Beijing.  Its the same one we toured 6 years ago, and much hasn't changed, but the prices.   We bought a few small things and Mia bought a butterfly ornament.  Next we headed to the Great Wall.  It wasn't the same section we toured in 2004, so it was great seeing a different section of the Giant Dragon.  The 2 things we noticed about this section was first, it was a very popular area, second, it was super steep, as the photo's show.  We a short way up the steepest side, and then decided to head to the other side, as it wasn't as steep.  Mia did a great job and hung in there for all we did.
After the Great Wall we went to a great Chinese restaurant.  It was best meal we had since we've been here.  ( I hope, I feel the same way six hours from now.)  LOL
 
Tomorrow its the Forbidden City and Hutong tour.  Mia has been looking forward to the rickshaw ride for so long.  I sure hope she enjoys it.
