Visit the Great Wall of China

No visit to Beijing can be considered complete until you have stopped by the Great Wall of China. Of course, while in the city, you can snap a few keepsake photos of the Great Wall winding its way across the hill to the north. Until you have walked on the wall, however, you will always get the feeling that your Beijing trip is missing something!
