We did 4 things that day. First, Ming Tombs. I enjoy what i\'ve seen but i was expecting more like seeing the tomb. I was disappointed when i understood that i won\'t see inside the tomb. We saw what they call Ming tomb, which is actually a sort of temple or memorial. It was pretty, and with the Guide i learned a lot of things, but still i\'m disappointed cause i didn\'t see the inside of the emperor tomb. Then we visited a jade factory which was good and then we had an excellent lunch in a beautiful place.
In the afternoon, we\'ve been to Badaling Great Wall. It was great ! The only bad point is that our guide didn\'t let us the choice to go on the top or just walk from the start of the entry. There is a part where there is the cable car which goes to the top (from this place you can\'t climb or see at all the wall), but 500 meters after (and we saw it when we left) that there is another entry where you can climb the wall by foot. He didn\'t lie when he said we don\'t have the time to walk from the beginning to reach the top (3hours of walk to the top) but still we didn\'t have the choice and we all paid 80 yuan to the cable car.
Then we finished our afternoon where we can taste different tea in the vip room and then bought theses teas of really good quality. It was another good experience.
To conclude, the tour is good (we see and learn a lot) but it could be a lot more great and fun with more time on the great wall and in seeing inside of the tomb.
And the guide was fine except for what he did on the great wall.
