Great Wall
(Mutianyu section)
On the way up, you'd better know
how to bargain if you want to purchase some items.
A 65 yuan hat became 6 yuan after some hard bargaining.
We decided to take the cable car
up and walk down.
Our first glimpse of the Great Wall
from the cable car.
Note: Mutianyu section is a
bit farther from Beijing, but less crowded.
Walking up could be a struggle,
but we are going down!
These steps should not be taken
lightly.
The first use of a canon?
Look how far we have gone down...
This is a side wall for extra protection.
No wonder our tour guide is screaming,
look at the pathway!
Even going down is a harrowing
proposition.
Note: Former US president
- Bill Clinton visited the same route in 1998.
