We found a "tour" thing that dropped us off at one point on the Great Wall and picked us up 10 Km down.
We started at a point called "Jinshanling". It was built during the Ming Dynasty, and it's about 3 hours outside of Beijing. We walked/stair-climbed 30 some watch towers down to the "Simatai" section.
It was for sure not made for hiking! The Wall goes up and down ALL of the highest points on the mountains.
Here is a fine example of what might be the world's most random "Great Wall" video. We were hiking with a couple of our teacher friends from Thailand. The novelty of where we were had worn off a little.
That is so cool that you got to go to the Great Wall... yea, you guys looked a little tired in the video ;). Can't wait to hear all about it!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute picture of both of you sitting on the WALL ! That shortcut looked slippery & steep, I'm glad no one fell or twisted their ankle.
