After getting up really early and having breakfast at the Club Lounge at our hotel, the Renaissance Beijing Wangfujing Hotel we catch the subway to Dongzhimen Subway Station where we meet our guide from Mubus who will take us to the Great Wall of China.
Mubus is a cost effective way of visiting the Great Wall, they take care of the transport and also offer tickets at cost price.
It took about an hour and a half to arrive at the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall of China and then we caught the cable car to the top.
Once on the Great Wall of China we walked all the way to watch tower number 20 before coming back down. In total we spent a good couple of hours on the Great Wall of China and it was a great experience.
We got a buffet lunch at the Mubus Family centre in Mutianyu Village before getting their bus back to Beijing.
In Beijing we go shopping on Wangfujing Street and get some food in Qianmen Street before stocking up on supplies for our train journey tomorrow at Walmart.

It has been a life long dream to go to the Great Wall of China and today I have finally done it, other than the weather it was a great day. I have written a FREE China Guide Book PDF with all our tips, tricks, best hotels, places to visit and more, you can download it here: bit.ly/4d8D23t
I guess the wrapping was not plastic but something edible. To be on the safe side, you should have asked the seller.
48:53 "transparent plastic" is actually the glutinous rice
you are so kind😂
@@kofeesala23
it is ricepaper，u can eat it
rice paper, it is edible lol enjoy
It's not plastic，it's made of rice called rice paper and eatable.
Yes, I realised this later in the trip when I saw people eating the wrapping
The layer above the sugar gourd is not plastic, it is glutinous rice paper, it is edible.
Yes, I realised this later in the trip when I saw people eating the wrapping
@@travelshortsGlutinous rice paper is edible, and it is made of starch, not glutinous rice.😊
@@travelshorts Haha, happy you fond that.
It's not only edible, but also tasty in the sense it diminishes a bit the sweetness of sugar coat outside the fruit. This is like adding another layer of flavor for the Tanghulu. 😄
Chinese proverb : If you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero . 😄
( Thanks for sharing ❤
😁
Imagine your children watching these videos in ten years, they will surely be very happy and touched😭
Thank you.
你是一個很愛孩子的爸爸，很棒
Thank you.
A gentle father, two lovely little friends, lucky in the draw, a very warm video, welcome!
Thank you very much!
看过这么多视频里最舍得花钱的一个家庭，能给孩子们体验的基本都是最好的，很佩服能一个人带着两个孩子出远门看不同的世界，祝你们玩得开心❤
Thank you
In fact, the paper wrapping sugar gourd is a kind of edible rice paper, whose main components are starch, gelatin and egg lecithin.
Yes, I realised this later in the trip when I saw people eating the wrapping
无数华人在评论里面告诉外国人那个不是塑料，是糯米纸。不得不说我们的饮食文化的确与众不同
是古老的技術。😊很久很久以前的中國人的方法。糯米甚至可以蓋橋樑，及城牆。😂中國老祖們很厲害的。
就是糯米做的！
對，那些紙是可以吃的，入口即溶！而且很多糖果也有這種紙
多么好的父亲，在这个年纪能出来旅游，对他们成长太有好处了，非常棒的一家人。欢迎来中国，也欢迎去山东省旅游！
Thank you
What you bought is crystal sugar strawberry skewers, and the outer layer is crystal sugar , which can be eaten directly.
Yes, I realised this later in the trip when I saw people eating the wrapping
There got two young handsome boys waving their hands behind you...🙄😀😄😄😄😄👍👍👍
The two children are very smart
我是你视频的忠实观看者！你是一位好父亲，一直关心儿子和女儿的旅游体验和食物是否可口。祝旅行愉快。期待尽快看到你来上海旅行的视频。
Thank you
The outer packaging of the candied haws is edible, and its function is to keep your hands clean.
Yes, I realised this later in the trip when I saw people eating the wrapping
23:48 The cats on the Great Wall are so cute!!!
The surroundings were enveloped in mist, unusually quiet, when suddenly thousands of enemies appeared. It has a very cinematic atmosphere.
👍
Thank you for sharing your family journeys with us! Thank you for telling the truth of China as well as sharing the details information! It is fog 🌫️ that you are seeing NOT smog. China has been doing clean air since 2008.
When you are young, must go Great Wall once 😊
Your little angel girl is very cute!❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍Good luck to you all!
Ive been to the Great Wall many times but not when it was foggy. It’s actually quite cinematic! Love the atmosphere ❤
I think the wrapping was not plastic but something edible. It would be best if you asked them.
Yes, I realised this later in the trip when I saw people eating the wrapping
@@travelshorts Great!
Sorry the weather is not ideal, otherwise the view would be stunning on the Great Wall. Wish you still enjoyed. When you tasted lamb skew, your son tried to take it back lol
The transparent film on the outside of tanghulu sometimes looks like paper, but it is actually edible rice paper. This kind of rice paper is safe to eat and is usually used to prevent the tanghulu from sticking to your hands while keeping the sugar coating intact.
So, if the "paper" on the outside of the tanghulu is rice paper, you can safely eat it. If you are unsure, you can ask the vendor or carefully observe it. Generally, rice paper is quite thin and dissolves easily in your mouth.
It's made of glutinous rice
Yes, I realised this later in the trip when I saw people eating the wrapping
great video and you are a good father, I'm a father with one daughter and one son just like you, but I can't handle them both by myself.😀😀
这个季节去长城是最好的，不太冷，也不太热，非常适合登长城
But you can't see things clearly under foggy weather
很热吧😂
两个可爱的小孩😊
Thanks for sharing.Both your children are very adorable.❤
I hope you enjoy your time in China.
Thank you! 😃
the children look very quiet, so cute they are！
哈哈 我確信這個老爸是真的很愛他的兒子女兒 但我蠻懷疑那兩個小朋友喜歡她老爸的旅遊安排 但無論如何登上長城絕對是一個人一生不應該錯過的經歷
48:45 OMG, this is not plastic but edible rice paper to be eaten with the strawberries, to prevent your face and hands from touching the sugar coating.

祝你们一家在中国旅行玩得开心~
Thank you
Most wonderful is those unrecovered wall, that is real adventure, amazing beautiful.
中國旅游業是無煙工業, 已經成為中國重要的經濟支柱之一。中國可以在現有的基礎上, 進一步提升, 加强其品質, 以吸引更多的外國游客。除了經濟, 還可以提高中國和中國人的國際形象, 剷除外國人的偏見。
woah! can't wait to visit beijing in may next year! thanks a lot for the info
Have fun!
Spring or Autumn is the best time to visit Beijing, good luck.
最后的糖葫芦上面的不是塑料，他们是用大米做的米纸，是可以吃的。😂
Yes, I realised this later in the trip when I saw people eating the wrapping
Those are not plastic wrapping. They are RICE PAPER. They can be eaten and not meant to be removed.
The rice paper is so common in China but the Western people don't know that ! Oh !
Yes, I realised this later in the trip when I saw people eating the wrapping
Lovely kids. Bless you all : ) Thank you for sharing what's there in China for real : )
Thanks for watching!
You are hero now, every one on great wall is hero.
You and your children are so fortunate to experience the Great Wall of China!! I'm so jealous!
Thank you
Hope your family have a great trip in China.❤
Thank you.
the great wall looks really good
Yes it does.
Sugar-Coated Berry, that plastic film should be edible.
Yes, I realised this later in the trip when I saw people eating the wrapping
so sweet kids, welcome to china
Thank you
The previous videos all want to talk about whether the child is too cold. You should wear more clothes only with one dress. Everyone else wears down jackets. Of course, your family has finished their trip and hope to come again next time.
48:53 the thin cover layer is not plastic, that's made from(of) glutenious rice. So don't worry it may cause health issue
glutinous rice paper can be eaten, and commonly used on candy to protect candy from its wrapping paper. (A thin film made from starch. It can be used to package candy, Dim sum or medicines, and can be moisture-proof.)
Yes, I realised this later in the trip when I saw people eating the wrapping
kids so lucky to be able to travel and walk the great wall at that age. how many can say that?! too bad you had such a cloudy misty day but I guess you might be use to that kind of weather 😅
Thank you.
A great father and two excellent children, visiting the Great Wall!
Thank you.
With so many visitors come everyday, the floor is so clean! There is no rubbish anywhere!
That is one of the main things I noticed about china, there is no rubbish anywhere and everywhere is very clean.
那不是塑料，那层纸是可以吃😅😂 另外羊肉串应该从第一个开始把肉扯下来整块吃。😂🎉
Yes, I realised this later in the trip when I saw people eating the wrapping
Enjoy your trip in China 😊
Thank you, I will
天呐 那是糖衣 可以吃
Yes, I realised this later in the trip when I saw people eating the wrapping
Cats are the guardians of the Great Wall.
The top of the candy cane is not plastic, if you put it in your mouth it will melt off and is perfectly edible
Yes, I realised this later in the trip when I saw people eating the wrapping
播主不是旅遊淡季，而是你們去的长城段是外國人去的，因為人少安全，还有一段长城入口是中國國内人去的，非常 擠迫，人山人海，最頂有块石块写着(不到长城非好汉)的字樣，所以你們去的是外國人去的长城段😅😅👍👍
其实对于北京人，慕田峪并没有是外国人去的称号，八达岭也没有中国人的称号。 通常只是知道八达岭人气更大，慕田峪人流量少一些但风景更漂亮一些。
你说的是八达岭长城，这里老外一直都很多，以前很多给老外卖东西然后趁机扒窃的小偷，现在都没有了
mutianyu section is also very popular for the people live in Beijing. But it’s too far away from the city center.
The fruits on the sticks that is not cover by plastics ,that is rice paper,you can eat it
Yes, I realised this later in the trip when I saw people eating the wrapping

期待你们的西安影片
Thank you, will hopefully be edited for next weekend.
Hey just wanted to say thank you for the tour guide PDF, I shared it with my friends!
Awesome, thank you!
40:11 Suitcase takes up a lot of inventory and display space. So in a city whose real estate price is sky high you would expect to find expensive suitcase in downtown department store. People in China usually buy these things in suburb market or online for as little as 10quid for an 20inch suitcase.
Welcome to China!
Thank you
Great father!
Thank you.
Very nice
Thanks
Two lovely kids, especially Holly.
Thank you
Welcome such a happy family to visit my hometown Beijing.
China has friendly people, countless natural beauty, historical sites, various types of cuisine from different regions, extremely safe public security environment, developed infrastructure, and is a paradise for tourism enthusiasts.
Thank you! 😃
不到长城非好汉.😂,你们一家都是好汉-欢迎您们一家.到中国🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you.
❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Two lovely kids, one of the best dad👍❤❤
You are so kind
❤❤❤
一个男人带着2个孩子出境旅游，我佩服你！
Thank you
Those wrappings are rice paper and are edible. Mainly function is to protect the strawberry from dirt and keep it clean
Yes, I realised this later in the trip when I saw people eating the wrapping
The Great Wall in foggy day is totally different lol
What cute children, have a nice time in China.
Thank you
你的视频让我想起了我小时候爸爸买了第一辆车，暑假常常开车带我去公路旅行，很多是在江苏省内，也开去过安徽省的黄山，路上有很多甘蔗地。那时晚上的山路完全没有路灯非常黑。我很喜欢和爸爸出去玩，但后来他开车不小心出了车祸就不能自己开了，我就再也没有公路旅行了
hi handsome father. Great job rasing your beautiful family. your kids look just like you. God bless bless you for traveling with your kids. I really like your Adobe e book.
Thanks so much
goooooood father ！
The English of the tour guide is great.
