    • This is one of the most secenic stretch of Great Wall around Beijing. This is the REAL deal, not some touristic Disney-style walls restored to please you.

    Most outdoor-type Beijing folks heard about it, and most have seen a picture of it, cos it is known as the most photographed stretch of Great Wall in China.

    However, getting there is difficult. Almost impossible without a car and an experienced guide. Most of the wall is in ruins, so the climb itself is extremely dangerous. A few lives were lost in the past few years.

    But if you want to see the real thing, this is as real as it gets!
