The Great Wall - scenery
Some views...
We went to Simatai, which is where I ended up last year when I walked the Great Wall with Jessie. With Jessie, if you remember (May 2006), we departed from Jinshaling and walked the 10-11km to Simatai. With my school, we continued further along Simatai, so I was covering new (although familiar) territory.
I think the pictures speak for themselves. I had forgotten how steep some parts are...
Up and down, up and down...lots of up at Simatai, which in the end means lots of down, I suppose.
Some areas are pretty scarily not safe. :-) Adds to the adventure.
For 30 yuan (just under $5), you can ride the zip cord to a place nearer to the parking lot. Looks like fun, but you should see the zip cord: it's old and rusty and looks pretty damn scary!!!
