Previous Day (Departure)

Thursday, June 19. Our first full day in China. After breakfast we left the hotel to visit and perform at the Great Wall, at a location near Beijing. On the way, we stopped for a peaceful stroll through the Ming Tombs, where 13 of the Ming Dynasty Emperors are buried. Here are some views of the cityscape and countryside.

   
   

We visit the Ming Tombs park, which is northwest of Beijing.

    

There is a long walkway with stone statues of people and animals

   

Sara gets to hold the flag for a while.
