The Great Wall - Mutianyu to Juyongguan

A short bus transfer took us to Juyongguan which is very commercialized and touristy part of wall. The acscent was extremely steep with hundreds of steps and hundreds of Chinese clambering up and the wall. Many of the Chinese took great delight in having their picture taken with me and Ian, (another guy from the trip). Very funny.

This was to be the final section of the wall, and to be honest I was “walled” out by this point. Reflecting back on the last few days in has been a wonderful experience and one I'll never forget. A wonderful time and shared with a great bunch of people.

Heading back into Beijing and went out in the evening for a celebratory meal and drinks in the city.

Memorable Points: Having the lots of Chinese take my photo, celebratory meal and drinking in Beijing
