Sacred Way of Ming Tombs

May 10, 2014

After lunch Jack's Bus takes us to the valley which the Ming Emperors chose as their burial place.  While we don't actually get a close-up view of the tombs themselves, we do walk along a beautiful avenue lined with massive stone sculptures of men and mythical beasts.

Afterwards we return to our hotel, where some chose the optional Peking Duck Dinner excursion.  I had read on TripAdvisor that this dinner was not good, so we chose to have dinner at a local restaurant along with some leisure time.   In talking to friends later in the trip, we may have made the wrong decision, as those who attended the dinner seemed to enjoy it very much.
