Summer Palace

Pati and Johnny conclude their China adventure in Beijing with the Summer Palace, an expansive imperial garden. They visit the Hall of Jade Ripples, Empress Cixi's Gate, the Hall of Dispelling Clouds, and the Tower of Buddhist Incense. They are impressed by the scale and history of the grounds, which they note are significantly larger than the Forbidden City. A guided tour can help visitors understand the palace's architecture and history.

Great Wall climb

The couple's ascent of the Great Wall is physically demanding. The steepest parts, especially from the 19th to the 20th tower, have stairs that feel almost like a ladder. Pati and Johnny support each other along the climb and celebrate reaching the top. The panoramic views make the effort worthwhile. Comfortable shoes, water, snacks, and a steady pace are useful for the steep route.

Dinner and evening

After the climb they meet friends for dinner and try squirrel fish, a famous dish cut many times and deep-fried. They describe its flavor as sweet and sour, reminiscent of lychee with watermelon and dragon fruit notes, a modern fusion style. Their final stop is a Stranger Things-themed bar, providing a playful finish. The itinerary balances imperial history, a strenuous walk, local food, and contemporary entertainment. The Summer Palace provides an expansive contrast to the climb, and their route covers four named places: Hall of Jade Ripples, Empress Cixi's Gate, Hall of Dispelling Clouds, and Tower of Buddhist Incense. They consider the grounds larger than the Forbidden City and suggest allowing time to explore. On the Great Wall they find the section from tower 19 to tower 20 particularly steep, with stairways that feel like ladders. The pair support each other and celebrate at the top, where the panoramic views reward the effort. Their dinner with friends features squirrel fish, which is cut many times and deep-fried, with a sweet-and-sour flavor like lychee plus watermelon and dragon fruit notes. A Stranger Things-themed bar closes the day.
