I honestly didn’t know what to expect before getting to the Great Wall. I obviously knew the significance of it but seeing it in person was still surreal to me even before I arrived.
We got there and our guide fed us breakfast. Something in a form of a cinnamon role, which was delicious then, we also got given the option of tea. We started our adventure up the mountain after breakfast.
As we got more and more to the top the view just kept getting better and better. The guide was real good about stopping to let us have breaks for rest and to take pictures. We walked all the way through.
The wall itself was real old you could tell just by the way the rocks were “cemented” together. They were put together by white rice, which I found fascinating. The views were just spectacular so hard to provide emphasis on it.
It was a beautiful day outside. Perfect day to hike a mountain. Or the Great Wall in better terms!
The way down was tough though. It was very slippery and we had to be careful. The ground was a mixture of leaves, mud and snow a bad combination when hiking. I am surprised I didn’t do a face plant.
When we got back to ground level the guide served us lunch. DUMPLINGS! Which is the best part of Chinese food in my opinion. Our group ate the plates so fast. They were so yummy.
After our journey back from the Great Wall we just rested for the night.
