Peter's jetlag advice -- sleep as much as possible on the plane and ignore it once you get there. He found the jetlag *going* to China much easier than coming back, which I find a little weird, since it was a 12 hour time difference...
I suspect that a lot of it is that you're much more motivated to overcome it during a major trip than in the course of the inevitably anticlimactic return. You're also just that much more tired after many days of running on all cylinders, trying to take it all in.
He also commented that when you go to the Great Wall, go early and turn left. For some reason everyone turns right and the crowds are much heavier.
Our guide told us that the rightward slope was easier. (As the second youngest couple in our tour group, we of course had to take the left path as a matter of honor after that. :-)
