Wow! It was cold in Beijing! The Great Wall is so high, the temperature was below freezing and the wind made it even colder. Look at the photo of the steps. Did you realize the steps on the Great Wall were so steep? That's the view from the top of one set of steps. They go straight down! Hold that handrail!
The Temple of Heaven Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests was really interesting. When you stand at the center of the Temple and speak (As the Emperor did) every person in the crowd can hear you. Even so much as a whisper can be heard. Folks thought the Emperor was magic!
We saw so much and learned so much during our trip to China. But the best thing that happened to us in China was meeting and adopting Aurora. Aren't these elements just perfect? I love this peacock!
