We hope that the sentries posted on the Great Wall back in the day were a little more vigilant than this tabby cat! Mutianyu is one of the best-restored sections of the Great Wall. The towers and turrets are a popular place for hiking and photography.

Ospreys can often be found soaring over Beijing's many wetland parks. Watch long enough & you just might see one in action: when it spots a fish, it glides over the water and then plunges below the surface to snatch its prey.
