Here you'll learn how to book a day trip in China. You'll learn how to buy a ticket for a sightseeing trip to the Great Wall of China in Beijing. You'll learn to book the trip for the day of your choice, and you'll be able to ask what time the bus departs in Mandarin Chinese.
The Great Wall is particularly popular with Chinese tourists, partly due to Chairman Mao once proclaiming that if you haven't climbed the Great Wall, then you're not a real man! There are different sections that you can visit, and its worth going to the section that is the furthest from Beijing city as this will not be as busy.
