The distance from Shanghai to Beijing is 1300 km but with a high speed train one can get there in only 4.5 hours. So we though with the nice weather in fall it would be a good opportunity for Mia to go to the Chinese capitol and see the Great Wall and the Forbidden City.
We arrived in Beijing in the later afternoon and after dinner at a noodle restaurant....
..we got up early the next morning for a tour to the Great Wall.
The bis took us to a spot about 90 minutes north of the city were the wall is build along a mountain ridge. Luckily one go up by cable car
Time for some selfies
Mia liked climbing in the watch towers
View of the rugged mountains to the north
Mia had brought along Mäxchen - one of her stuffed animals. Quite the trip for her
Back in Beijing we sampled the dumplings - which were not so good as in Shanghai -

and were happy to find a szechuan restaurant after a long walk across the city
