While in the Wild Goose Pagoda Park, we had a calligraphy lesson. Fascinating to learn a few of the 6000 the Chinese characters and what they mean. After lunch Mark and I skipped the Jade factory tour. We had a wild hair to go back to the city wall, rent a bike and circumnavigate the top of the wall on a bike. Only 13.7k, felt like 137k. It really was a long way around. Had to put a 100 Yuen deposit on the bike, which is about 15 USD....the bikes were not worth that much. We managed to get them to roll all way around. The whole adventure took about 3 hours. Should have been less but it took us an hour to make a 20 minute walk to the wall from our hotel. We kinda got lost in the underground street crossings. Oh well, saw a lot more of the city than originally planned....
