The climb up the wall took about an hour and included hundreds of steps. Our group had quite a work out. "The Chinese say that you are not a true man or woman until you have climbed the Great Wall." Our Chinese scholars all successfully completed this rite of passage.
The weather was perfect for our trip to the Great Wall. We took a two hour bus ride from Beijing before arriving at the Wall. The part of the Wall we visited was more natural and less commercialized than some
other parts of the Wall. We had to be careful climbing because each step is at varying heights because the wall is built on the precipice. The view from the mountain top was extraordinary!
