#GreatWall

0 posts0 participants0 posts today
Day 2 of our honeymoon pre-cruise tour of Beijing in 2008 started with us heading north to the Great Wall at Badaling. We climbed a section to the tower you see in the photo and we stopped several times because it was steep. At one point we were panting at one side, some young Chinese people were panting at the other, and some old Chinese bloke went walking up between us at a high pace. We caught eyes with the youngsters opposite us and all smiled and shook our heads.

This photograph was taken in China close to the Great Wall.

The Great Wall is not a single-structured wall, it includes beacon towers, barriers, barracks, garrison stations, and fortresses along the walls, together forming an integrated defence system.

With the Chinese new year upon us, I was wondering what might have happened to "[t]he 38-year-old man and 55-year-old woman [who] were working near the affected area, the 32nd Great Wall [and] dug a 'big gap' by widening an existing cavity of the Great Wall so that their excavator could pass through it. Police say they wanted to reduce the distance they had to travel."

Funny, I don't see any mention of them since the incident...

Mostly because I shared this on Instagram today as well.

This is the Great Wall of China, taken on the second day of our honeymoon in 2008, which was also the second day of the very first time we'd left the country to travel together. We've done a fair bit of travelling since but this is still one of the most impressive sights we've had the luck and utter joy to experience.
