The Eastern Discovery Tour
Day 4

To get back down instead of hiking I used the bobsleigh run.

This is one of the best bobsleds I've ever done. As you can see it's in a spectacular location, and is of a large size, taking several minutes to get down.

Not only is it a great location, but it's a great layout allowing for you to reach a thrilling speed as you tear down it.

The only slight problem with it is the popularity of it. Your unlikely to get a completely free run. I didn't do to badly as the person in front of me was still going at a good pace.

The Bobsleigh is still used quite a bit by sightseers, (someone visiting a tourist destination, not someone who can see in to the future) who won't go down it that fast. My advice is try to pick a quieter period to visit, and if there's no queue give the person in front of you a good head start.

The station from which you get off the bobsleigh. It's not a full circuit ride, so it's not one I'd count as a roller coaster.

For lunch I opted to head over to this local trout (a speciality of the Mutianyu area) farm with a restaurant next to it.

It had some great Chinese dishes being served. I also learnt how to use chopsticks.
