We were in China in 2009 visiting wife's family in Guangzhou. Travelled to Beijing by train (approx 23 hours), although I believe there is a bullet train now which has cut the time to about 14 hours. It is well worth the effort to get to Beijing to see and walk on this magnificent piece of engineering history. Also worthwhile visiting Xi-an on the way back to marvel at the Terracotta Warriors. Absolutely loved my experience visiting this great country and will be visiting again next year!! Lovely people, beautiful country!!!
