Our second day in Beijing was something that I was excited for way before our trip! On the second day in Beijing we climbed the Great Wall of China. I was really excited that we got to go to the more scenic side because it was very beautiful. The views were so breath-taking! Lina our tour guide told us that you're considered a hero if you walked the Great Wall. I have never sweated so much in my entire life, walking up and down the great wall was so difficult! It is such a big accomplishment to say that we have climbed the great wall of china. When I was walking on the great wall I kept thinking about how amazing that this was built so long ago and yet it is still standing. The Great Wall has so much history, it was so cool to actually be walking on it. After walking on the great wall we did a little bit of shopping at the great wall. I wanted a t-shirt since I felt it was such a big accomplishment. The lady first had the t-shirt at 385 yuan, the start the price so incredibly high for an item. I finally got the price down to 25 yuan. It seems that it doesn't matter what the price is for the items they sell, they always start it off so high. They also were very pushy I wanted to walk away but she would grab me to keep me close to her booth. I'm not sure how much a like bartering because I don't know how low I can go. I'm sure I will get better at it though.
