The Great Wall

The Great Wall is just that. This is at Badaling, where it has been restored and you're highly unlikely to be walking on the (original) wall at all.

Very touristy but good to see how it was - impressive.

The Wall was this big!
Ba Da Ling, Hebei Province, China
I give up!
Huanghua, Hebei Province, China

This is a part of the Wall at Huanghua, about four hours out of Beijing, far more impressive. Six hour walk with a friend and hardly saw anyone!

(note the original state, how overgrown and steep it is)

 

So, survived for over 2000 years, eh?...

(again, you can see it's original condition to my right and behind me)

No, I didn't break it
Huanghua again
...there is no moral to the story, it's just a bunch of stuff that happened...
