Beijing Over night Tour the Great Wall

Beijing tour that we took was overnight tour with Cruise Specialist inculding one night stay in Beijing Peninsula Hotel in the city centre.

First day was a bit hazy but we went Ming tomb and the Great Wall - Ju Young Pass.

It says 'The Entrance of the wall'

It was quite easy to step down all the way to the dam.

" Well done, Greg.

So far so good.

Please, don't look up.

You will have to climb up later!"

I went up all the way to the top while Greg was resting here near the dam.

We met some people from the ship.

"Would you mind taking photo?"

Higher to go up, steeper the stairs become...

"Hi, Greg, I can't walk up any longer.

I might end up in Mongolia somewhere if I keep following the wall!"

This warning sign should be at the entrance.

Greg was, however, so proud of himself for his achievement.

"Really, I could have walked to the other side of the wall, too!"

This side of the wall is supposed to be harder than the other side we did.

We have done it!

One of the 7 wonders of the world!
