Such a testament to the thousands who worked to complete it or stood in the cold/heat to guard their country. An amazing structure. Thanks for commenting. Glad to hear from you.

Was an amazing experience walking around on top of the wall but wouldnt have made it if it wasnt for the cable car ride up and down.

The answer to your question is “never enough time anywhere”! Tours have agendas, of course, and we had to get to the bus in time, to lunch in time, to the entrance to something in time, etc. However, I’m grateful I saw as much as we did in the limited time because of the scheduling. I could have dawdled endlessly in many of the museums and tourist venues!! Any way you go will be a good thing. China is wonderful!

It makes me want to go to China. I would never have thought of taking a river cruise to see China. Did you find that you had enough time on land to see the things you wanted to see? I may consider this. Thanks for the information and inspiration!

We really didn’t talk, but we took pictures of each other. Be sure to check back for my next China blog on the people I met on the Wall!
