The first day in China the groom nicely drove us to none other than the great wall of China! One of the wonders of the world! The longest and greatest wall in the world seen from space, you may of heard of it! Yes this was the part of the trip i was excited about. We arrived on a nice hot day in the mountains.
Next we got a high cable car up the mountain.
It was nice to see a different view of China, we had seen the modern now the historical and landscapes.
Arriving at the top we saw over the mountains a winding, snake like figure over the mountains, it was the great wall. Part of it any way, it goes on for miles.
This part of the wall was the newer part that had been re-built but still exstrodanary and very busy full of chinese tourists. The wall was just sitting on the mountains and the steps were very steep. It was amazing to see and to actully walk on it having heard so much about it was very special.
Here i am up the steapest steps on this part of the wall. the stairs were almost vertical and getting up it in this heat wasnt easy.
"Look at that behind me, yep its a wall, the great wall!"
We couldn't walk it all, it goes on miles and its so steap in places, it was enough just seeing it as it grew in length and went over the horizon of the mountains.
Great views of it from the top of the stairs. How the hell did they build it?
Having seen it all and took lots of pictures, we got the cable car back down. It's a surreal experience to know you've walked on the great wall of china, i will remember it forever.
