The wall is 13.7km long and takes about an hour and a half to ride around, allowing for photo stops. Carol\u2019s undercarriage is still recovering many hours later. Next was the Muslim quarter, which had been recommended by an American couple we were talking to the night before.\u00a0 This was a tight network of crowded back streets, still very Chinese, but no pork.<\/p>\n<p>A Buddhist temple, the wild goose pagoda was next, which was Lachlan\u2019s replacement for the school excursion to Nan Tien Temple which he is missing while he\u2019s away.<\/p>\n<p>Last stop for the day was a museum, then off to the station to catch our overnight sleeper to Beijing. This was somewhat of a highlight for the kids \u2013 very excited \u2013 as they haven\u2019t done an overnighter in a train before.<\/p>\n<p><a
