慕田裕 Mutianyu

Thanks for Nancy's invitation for her wedding in Mutianyu, Beijing, we had the chance to visit Mutianyu, which is famous for the Great Wall nearby. The wedding is Sunday and Nancy arranged us to stay one night at China Countryside Hotels, it's an interesting hotel that they actually worked with the country house owner and help them to rent out the place when they are not around. We stay at a very nice one call "Persimmon Court" and shared the house with Sandy & her husband as well as Siew Ling.
It's a very interesting concept to have the modern style interior design within the traditional Chinese lodge house. Pretty comfortable and a nice choice for a short retreat out from the city.
The most interesting part among all is the lady camel that we met when we took the early morning tour around the place. I actually noticed her from far but I can't really tell what what that is as she wears some very beautiful decoration on the ears and body. On our way back, we saw her owner walking her up to the Great Wall to "WORK" as model and that costs RMB20 for each photo shoot. Luckily that I've taken some before she started working!! haha!!
We only arrived on Sat evening as あなた needs to work in the morning. Therefore, we did not have the chance to really climb the Great Wall! I'm definitely coming back again but maybe next Spring when the weather and wind isn't so cold lu!!
