She shared video touring the Great Wall of China, joking that she "rented the Great Wall all to myself."

Coco was fitted with a gorgeous flowing qipao, which is a traditional formal mandarin gown.
Alcaraz wore a more fitted and tailored changshan with an intricate dragon design.
While the top tennis players in the world show up to Beijing for the tournament, which is a WTA 1000 (masters) event, the opportunity to dive deep into the Chinese culture is equally as rewarding.
Coco is the No. 4 seed in the tournament and will begin play on Thursday, September 26, against Clara Burel of France in the Round of 64.
Alcaraz, meanwhile, is the No. 2 seed and will face France's Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the Round of 32 on Wednesday night.
