The Great Wall

Today was the day we headed to the Great Wall and also stopped at the jade factory. The work they do to create sculptures and jewellery is just amazing. The guide gave us lesson in the history of jade the 30 different colors and different grades. Jade is the stone of luck and brings wonderful things to your life.


The Great Wall was just that "Great!" It has been the highlight on the touristy end of things. We had a good day for it and travelled up the harder side a certain distance and then came back and went up the supposedly easier side. The boys were quite impressed and the structure itself is really unbelievable.







Tomorrow we head to the Summer Palace.
