WOW! well what can i saw, to have walked on the great wall of china is one thing you certain must not miss out on in life!
Unbelieveable views! The wall is a master piece and priviledge to go and visit.
I stayed in Beijing and visted the badaling section in June, we took a taxi to it from our hotel which was about 1-2 hour ride but the taxi was the best around with full air con and sweet lady driver. She took us there and waited for us then drove us back for around half the price of one of those dodgy sight seeing trips! I would recommend you take taxis to any part you visit as bus tours are a rip off and only let you see things under certain time constraints. The badaling part is the part most tourist go and visit and is probably the best part to visit for first timers.
There is a cable car that can take you upto the top of the wall (which we did) and walked down part of it. It is very very steep in places and quite hard work but worth every minute. It can get very windy up there because you are so high up but nothing to worry about, unless you choose to wear a thin short cotton skirt! I was holding it down the whole time! much to the amusment of young chinese men! haha! I was told you need hiking boots when you go but that was not the case, i walked around in flip flops! but maybe those more elderly would need extra help.
It costs about £3 to get on the wall and there are quite a few people trying to sell things along the way (like anywhere in china!) we did buy some postcards from this women for a few pounds which are nice to keep and show the wall at all the different seasons.
What else can i say, until you go and see it with your eyes you jus cant experience it. Highly recommended!!
