Creator's Key Takeaways
This is the best overall China Wall experience you can get.
I would say after the Great Wall of China, come down to the Summer Palace and get that view before you go back to your hotel.
This was one of my favorite places in Beijing. You got to come here at night time just before sunset.
I don't normally eat duck, but here in Beijing, I definitely did.
