Day 3 of trekking.....................................................................................


Today was our longest day out of the 5 days trekking, we walked approx 12km over 8 hours with a 32C humid heat shinning down on us! Although it was the longest day for all of us the scenery & views were amazing. We starting off up some steps up a hillside making our way onto the wall where we trekked for about 4 hours before we sat & ate our lunch. We coninued along the wall for a while after lunch, until we could go no further as the military have taken over a part of the wall ahead of us. So we took a detour off the wall for a while walking though farmland, hillsides & ledges until we could return back upon the wall.

To start the day some steps!


You can clearly see the shear drop each side

Yes we did have to hike up this part of the wall


Different terrian to climb over this time

  1. Well done ! These are great pictures of the Great Wall! Which reminds me... I should go through my India pictures and post some. Having read this I thought it was rather informative. I appreciate you finding the time and energy to put this article together. I once again find myself personally spending a significant amount of time both reading and leaving comments. But so what, it was still worth it!

    In return, I also found a great blog of Jinshanling travel tips, I'd love to share it here with you and for future travelers.
