我是好汉

During some of WK's business trips, he took the opportunities to travel to place of interest.  I have always been "jealous" of 2 of such trips, which were Niagara falls and and Great-wall of China.  Finally I was able to experience the Great-wall this year May.

A colleague offer to bring us there.  He's a Singaporean, who has live in China for close to 20 years.  He brought us to 慕田峪, which has lesser tourist.

It was a very hot day, but unlike humid Singapore, it felt less tiring in the dry heat of Beijing.  We  can start tracking from station 9, but opt to take the cable car to a higher entrance.  This is a shot from the cable car.

A group photo outside station 14 (after alighting the cable car, before our climb).

Entrance to the wall.  Here we met a 92 year old woman being carried down this flight of stairs.  We do not know how much she walked, but everyone's still impressed and clapped for her.

It was a good day, with very little people.  Even got this shot:

My aim is the top station at the middle of this photo.  The end of this route is a few more stations away, on the left hand side of this photo.

A beautiful pic of the side of the wall

I wonder, if there is incarnation, who were people like Roy N and Amos Y in the Qing dynasty?  Freedom fighter?  Dictator hater?

After an hour or more, finally I'm near my aim.  A photo of the view downwards:

My colleague Shawn (Malaysian) taking a rest before our final flight of stairs.  Here's for the record: when going up that flight of stairs, I'm actually on all fours!  It's very ver steep.

Finally!

I didn't read this, but took a picture for remembrance seek.

One down!
