"China has been building bits of the Great Wall since before it was a nation. That part now identified as Wan Li Chang Cheng, or the 10,000 Li Wall, is believed to have been started in the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 B.C.) and the Warring States Period (475-221 B.C.), and rebuilt through the following dynasties. In Beijing, there are four stretches of Great Wall open to tourists, Badaling, Juyongguan, Mutianyu and Simatai, and each has their own features." |

Lots of tourists, also lots of fun
The two of us in one of the ramparts
They made it curvey on purpose
It seems to go on forever
Can we say "steep"?...
...and looking up from the same place
There is quite a view from up here
