During a spontaneous weekend away, we found ourselves gliding up the Great Wall in a chairlift, leaping up the stairs of the Mutianyu section of the great wall, marvelling at the lsuh greenery surrounding this wonder of the world, before toboganning back down again 2 hours later. A weekend hiking up and along the wall always makes for a fun, adventure-filled weekend, and it's amazing to think that this incredible part of China's history and culture is mere hours away from Shanghai by train. In addition to an afternoon hike, we filled our weekend with other architectural wonders that can be found in Beijing - Temple of Heaven, Ming Tombs, Summer Palace - as a well as a spot of art and culture with with an opera performance.
