Early start for the great wall, because our tour guide was Knowledge he brought us to an open and empty entrance. I was able to capture almost solitary photos. Other parts of the tour were awesome, Min Tombs, jade factory and tea house. I would recommend this tour to anyone. Small group, I went with one other person.

The Great Wall of China is one of the most amazing constructions in the world. The skills involved in building the Great Wall are impressive. In Chinese, it is known as the "wan li charng cheng," or "10,000 mile wall". The Great Wall is easy to get to from Beijng. You can make climb on the Great Wall when you're inspecting it, it's worth the effort and very surprising.

We visited all sites and Sam gave some historical background information. However, there were extra costs not mentioned before (140 RMB per person for the lift to the wall), extra (sponsored) stops to a jade factory and tea ceremony (we refused the tea ceremony) and Sam was a bit hasty and not very enthusiastic during the day.

This was a great experience. The guide Jenny is a true superstar. She took care of the group, entertained on the way, educated us about Chinese culture as well as gave helpful recommendations for further travel. Wish all tours were like with her!
