Downtown Beijing

We spent five days walking along the Great Wall in North Beijing, at 八達嶺; Bādálǐng, 慕田峪;  Mùtiányù and 司馬臺; Sīmǎtái.  

 It wasn't until Friday afternoon when we arrived back in Beijing, that the size of the city became apparent.  Everything was on such a grand scale, the building, the roads, the people, the traffic.  Everything was so big.
