https://www.TravelsWithSheila.com (Please don't forget to Share, like and subscribe! Thanks.) Viking offered two included excursions Historic Tianjin and Great Wall Huangyaguan. But after learning Huangyaguan involves a 3 hour bus ride in each direction, we opted for History Tianjin. Loved the kitschy, crowded Ancient Street.
