Day 4: Friday, November 24th
Slept all the way to 4AM. Another run, another experience of observations.
After another shopping stop at a jade factory I get to set foot on the most famous of China’s landmarks. The section of the 3,000 mile Great Wall we visit has a 700 meter climb with 1,800 steps. About a dozen of the group makes it up the perilous well worn and steep steps which weave up the mountainside.
After lunch we find ancient character in the historic Beijing neighborhood of Hutong. Narrow alleyways front shops and homes. After a stroll we get to take in more of this rambling complex on a rickshaw ride.
The day culminates with a Peking duck dinner at the famous Quinjude Roast Duck Restaurant.
