Great Wall




So, when we were in Beijing we (obviously) had to visit the Great Wall!! There are various parts that you can visit - we went to Simitai, which is less touristy and is the original wall. I was amazed that there were so many steps!! Obviously the chinese countryside is all rolling hills, so i probably should have guessed...but the number of steps rivalled the Tongeriro crossing in NZ, where Steph and I nearly died of exhaustion!! It was really beautiful - one of my favourite things in China.
