The drive was very long we passed thecountryside of Beijing. There were many mountains and forests. Itwas so cold, certain areas were covered with patches of snow.We took a chairlift up to the wall, and it was extremely high offthe ground! So the view was simply magnificent.There were many clusters of wonky stairs leading toall sorts of different hidden areas of the wall. The way down thewall was great fun as we took toboggans down the mountain.It was an incredible experience and an overall perfect day.Gracie Year 8Day 3 BeijingToday we went to the zoo and the pandas were awesome.Then we went to the summer palace and heard the story of anemperor.
