We had an amazing day out at the great wall and summer palace. We also went to a lovely local beijing cuisine restaurant where we at brilliantly cooked lamb, pork and beef. Our guide Lisa was very accommodating and hospitable, she took lots of photos for us and was a constant source of interesting and historical information.
