Finally, Some Nature!
... to place to kick back when doing a terrible job of ruling China got too difficult.
A five minute bus ride later and we arrived at the mountain resort. Some of the vendors there after noticing that the bus was chock full of rich foreigners came sprinting and poked their heads in the bus. They then proceeded to shove maps in our general vicinity, shouting out obscene prices. We just ignored them and came trotting out of the bus to be greeted by ...
Hiina müür

We were brought to this Juyung Pass, instead of the usual Badaling Pass which was another ...
Great Wall- round two, and more
... was rumoured to be the least touristy area, and this does seems to be the case. We were pretty much the only ones there. The day before (Friday) is considered the hottest day of the year (da4shu1) according to the Chinese lunar calendar, and Saturday was likewise very hot, but we only hiked about 5 miles, and I found the hike to be as enjoyable as ever.
