Mutianyu, Great Wall
The Great Wall of China is a dream for any traveler and I feel so lucky to make it there. It is amazing to see the this massive mega structure runs over the ridges of the mountains in the vicinity. Amazing views all over and I'm pretty sure anyone will love this. The effort of each and every person who contributed to create this massive civil engineering construction can be seen everywhere.
The Great Wall. We hiked the unrestored section through to the more restored section. So huge and just goes on as far as the eye can see.
