Craig and Chantz, the travelers behind Being Bedingfield, set out to check off the ultimate bucket-list item: the Great Wall of China. Their excitement is palpable from the very first second, as they cannot believe they are finally making this dream a reality. The day begins with a slightly chaotic bus pickup, arranged through a local guide on WeChat, but once they are on the road, the adventure truly begins. After a brief stop at a pearl market, which they note was a surprise addition to the itinerary, they finally arrive at the Mutianyu section of the wall. This section is famous for its chair lift and, most importantly, the toboggan ride down.<br><br>They take the chair lift up, soaring over the forest, and the view of the wall snaking over the mountains leaves them utterly speechless. Once on the wall, the real physical challenge begins. The steepness of the path is a surprise; they quickly realize the wall is not flat at the top. Craig’s stair machine training at the gym pays off as they climb the uneven, narrow steps under the hot sun. They take a moment to appreciate the incredible engineering, learning from their guide that the Ming dynasty used sticky rice soup mixed with crushed shells as mortar, a fact that still amazes them as an engineer and a curious traveler. They see the contrast between the original Ming dynasty stones at the lower levels and the newer bricks rebuilt in the 1980s, a testament to the wall’s long history.<br><br>The highlight of the day is without a doubt the toboggan ride down. After a sweaty, steep climb, they slide down the Great Wall on a bobsled-like track, and it is pure, unadulterated joy. Craig declares it one of the best experiences of his entire life. After the descent, they enjoy a surprisingly good included lunch, followed by an unexpected tea ceremony where they learn about different Chinese teas. To cap off the perfect day, they treat themselves to a classic Peking duck dinner in Beijing. The chef carves the duck at their table, and the meal, complete with local Yanjing beer, is described as their favorite food experience in China so far. The summary ends with a playful challenge to the audience: if the video gets 10,000 likes, Craig will run a marathon on the Great Wall.
Craig and Chantz conquer their bucket-list dream at the Mutianyu Great Wall, tackling steep climbs and ancient history before an epic toboggan ride down. This Beijing day trip blends jaw-dropping views, unexpected tea ceremonies, and a Peking duck feast—an unforgettable, fun-filled adventure that proves the wall is even more amazing in person.
Couple Craig and Chantz conquer the Mutianyu Great Wall, then slide down a toboggan—a thrilling, unforgettable Beijing day trip.
