July 2, 2011

American breakfasts with coffee were served in the hotel. After breakfast we congregated in the lobby at 7:45 a.m. and the coach left at 8:00 a.m. for the Great Wall.

We arrived at Great Wall around 11:30 a.m. and spent more than two hours there. It was hot and crowded, so all the group members stayed with their chaperones and all of us stayed together.

We went to a local restaurant for lunch at 12:35 p.m..

In the afternoon we went to Changling Tomb, which is a famous tomb of Ming Dynasty emperors, and got there around 3:30 p.m. At 5:30 PM we are returning to Beijing City and have a dinner at local restaurant.
