The Great Wall

Today we went on a tour to the Jinshanling stretch of the Great Wall of China. It was a 3 hour drive and meant a 5.30am start, but was well worth it.

Jinshanling is one of the less touristy parts of the wall and also one of the most authentic as little restoration has been done so far.

The walk along the wall itself was tough going, I considered it practice for the Himalayas. The views from the higher towers made it worth the climb though:

Anyway I'll leave you with a few pictures:













Even with a dodgy iPhone camera you certainly get the idea!!
