Duggars Visit Great Wall of China

This fall, the Duggars took a trip to Japan and China to celebrate Michelle's 46th birthday. And what's a trip to China without a visit to the Great Wall of China?

On Monday, September 24th, the Duggars met up with guides from the Great Wall Adventure Club and spent the day on the Jinshanling section of the wall.


The Great Wall Adventure Club published an extensive account of the trip to their website.

After a delicious dinner it was time for some cultural activities, such as paper cutting. Mama Shi, whose courtyard hosted the Duggars and her daughter-in-law, showed Michelle and three of her boys how to cut rabbits and fish with paper. Michelle and the boys were very focused and finished the cutting assignment perfectly.

Everyone was in bed by 9:30, which must be a record for the Duggars, a family of night owls.

On Tuesday, the Duggars toured the Mutianyu Great Wall.


There they purchased plastic raincoats, Chinese hats, sunglasses, and other souvenirs from a local vendor.


Jim Bob didn't know that he should negotiate the ridiculous prices that were offered. Once he was warned by us, he started [to] haggle big time.

Before lunch, the Duggars looked on as Great Wall Adventure Club’s founder and CEO Terrence Ou proposed to his girlfriend, Vivian Liu, on the Great Wall.

That afternoon, the family ran into traffic on their way back to Beijing.

When the Duggar Family arrived back at the Grand Hyatt a little after 5, all the children made a mad dash for the restrooms.
