Great wall of China - Bedaling Taking the train to the Great Wall of China... For the first 20 minutes, the train negotiates the Beijing suburbs, then it accelerates to around 80mph for a brief sprint to its first station stop. After stopping briefly at this station, the train starts climbing at slow speed into the mountains to Badaling. You start to see parts of the Great Wall as soon as you leave the station stop, so have your camera ready! The train reverses direction at the stop before Badaling, so don't be surprised when this happens. 2 hours at the wall is plenty, so taking the 09:33 from Beijing out and the 15:22 from Badaling back, or the 13:19 out and 19:40 back all work fine. If you want to return earlier, there are also regular buses back to Beijing.
America
Proposed trip to Canada USA in Summer 2011. We are staying in Waupoos Island, and need to stop in Toronto, and Boston.
Since we are in the area, we might as well stop by Niagara Falls. According to Google it is only 4 hours from Boston to New York City. So it would seem prudent to get NYC over with.
Proposed route:
Areas of interest, and possible sleep overs.
Niagara Falls NYC: Time Square NYC: Central Park NYC: Nat.History Museum NYC: Statue of Liberty, don't care to go to Liberty Island, but at least see it from afar. Can you see it from Jersey turnpike? Letchworth national park Dorian Lake theme park
NYC: Grand Central Station? NYC: Central Zoo NYC: The Cloisters
Canada Toronto - Medieval times restaurant http://www.medievaltimes.com/toronto.aspx
