We started again earlier and were out the door by 5:30am for a 2 hour car ride to the Great Wall of China. The hike was 9 kilometers from Jinshanling to Simatai. After the hords of people at the Forbidden city, we thought the Great Wall would be another tourist mecca. Lucky for us, we decided to visit a section further out and had the wall almost to ourselves. Our journey started with a cable car ride up to the top and 4 hours later we ended with a zip line ride down to the parking lot.
The wall snakes along the mountain ridge like a dragon. It truely is amazing site. We walked up and down both restored and unrestored sections. By the end we were exhausted and completely drenched in sweat by some of the super steep inclines.
