“Modern Family” star Ariel Winter and her boyfriend, Levi Meaden, managed to climb the Great Wall of China in Beijing.

On her Instagram account, the 19-year-old actress posted a photo with her group of friends at the famous tourist spot. Winter has been exploring China for the past week, and some fans have been commenting that she will be heading to Hong Kong next week.

Prior to her trip to China, Winter also went to Australia to visit Meaden. She also vacationed in Mexico with her friends.

However, Winter has not been posting travel photos with her family members. Last year, the actress revealed that she and her mom are still not on good terms with each other.

In an interview on the “Ellen Show,” Winter shared that she was emancipated from her mom before she turned 18. “Emancipation means you basically become your own entity. Nobody controls you anymore. You handle your own businesses, your living arrangements, your money, everything is sort of in your own hands,” she said.

Between the ages of 14 and 17, Winter’s sister was granted temporary custody of her after the actress filed a case against their mom. At the age of 17, her older sister was granted permanent custody before they ultimately decided to request for emancipation.

Meanwhile, Winter also opened up about her close relationship with her sister and said that she and her are best friends. “I just love her so much. I count on her more than anything,” she said.

Winter’s sister also does not have a relationship with their mom. When asked what happened to her and her sister’s relationship with their mom, Winter said that she has opted to keep their issues private. “I have decided to give her the respect that she didn’t give to me publicly,” she said.
