Activities: We went to the Great Wall at Mutianyu. We took a cable car up, then walked on the wall, enjoying the scenery. We went down by toboggan. "It's far from being a flat path, there will be steps going up and down, shelters, small 'tunnels', holes in the walls as in castles."
Highlights: The kids adored the cable car and the toboggan ride! We all enjoyed walking on the Great Wall and admiring the magnificent landscape. It was a great family outing. "The children loved it." ✨
