Back to the Wall


Last week I had the opportunity to visit the Great Wall of China. This excursion was my 4th time to the Wall; however, it was my first time to the Mutianyu section of the Wall.

So, what is so special about the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall? For starters, this section is much further from Beijing than the other popular sections of the wall such as Badaling. Second of all, the stairs and walkways are also much steeper than the Badaling section.

But if you have the time and sense of adventure, I highly recommend that you make the trip to Mutianyu. The crowds are minimal, the contrast of scenery is much more dramatic and if you are a shutterbug, there are lots of opportunities to capture that perfect picture of this man made wonder.
