Additional List
1. Stroller/baby back/front harness
One of them would save much energy if you are going to visit Beijing during the layover tour. But for Great Wall part, we don’t advise stroller since it’s pretty uneven and needs to trek a long time. Recommend Mutianyu Great Wall layover tour for parents, well-preserved and less steep, take the round-way cable car and slide down by toboggan with much fun and easy to save energy.
