The Great Wall

22^nd December 2001

Stephan-tongxue and I walked pretty far along the wall. Luckily we had good weather; it actually seemed to be warmer than Beijing.

The mountains themselves are a pretty serious obstacle; add a giant wall and some enemy soldiers and you have a pretty formidable barrier.

Looking back from whence we came.

I'd like to say I walked to the top of that mountain in the background, but frankly I'd be lying.
