Maya’s adventure in China began in Beijing where on her first day she visited the Summer Palace, The Bird’s Nest, the Aquatic Center and Ming Tomb Way where she flirted with the sculptures and had fun with her camera.

Maya was travelling with a group of 20 schoolmates, five chaperons, and one guide. Day two took them on an excursion to the Great Wall where they got great exercise climbing 30 flights of narrow stairs to reach the top of the wall. They also enjoyed what she described a toboggan ride down from the Wall.
