When you are in Beijing there are a couple of mandatory stops. Climbing the Great Wall is one of them. We decided that we would visit the Mutainyu section of the Great Wall, which is less touristy as it is a little further from Beijing. After a short ride up in a chair lift we were off to climb the nearly 2K of restored Wall. Below are a couple of our favorite shots from the beautiful day we had.

Great shots, We’re heading there in August and I can’t wait!
Very cool, the Great Wall has always been on my list. Interested to hear how you´re faring in China as it seems to be one of the most challenging countries for other travelers.
any starbucks?
