Our travels on Thursday and Friday 
took us to a scenic region of Miyun County, north of Beijing city, where we stayed at a small vacation resort amid rivers, cliffs, and canyons. More hiking meant sore legs for most of the B.U. contingent, but we were rewarded with beautiful views and countless waterfalls.
Friday morning, we experienced what most agree was a real highlight of our week: we hiked back into a steep river canyon and enjoyed a refreshing dip in a cold, clear swimming hole.
