Today’s Itinerary : Jade Factory > Great Wall of China > Lunch > Crystal Factory > The Ming’s Tomb > Chinese Medicine Factory > Dinner > Dong Hua Men & Wang Fu Jin Street.
The temperature today was fairly cool except was quite humid when inside the restaurants.. Was quite a good experience climbing up the Great Wall of China.. at least for once I guess if I plan not to come back again for second round.. Well I have height phobia, didn’t went up to the highest peak.. bro and dad went..
Ming’s tomb was another special artifact visit after our lunch.. Kinda spooky going down to 9 floors and its kinda dark and cold there. We are all surrounded either by marble wall or stone wall. very ancient..
At night!! Wow!! Finally the real meaning for me as “TRIP” or “VACATION”.. we can finally get to some city / urban areas and had food hunt.. really nice one at the wang fu jin street.
And i am looking forward for the shopping day to come.. Tomorrow will be waking up at 630 and leaving hotel at 8 to the Summer Palace.. Stay tuned for more..
Ps. special thanks to ZhengSi for creating the cute character for my watermark for my trip pictures..
