Arrived at the Badaling Great Wall in the morning of 22/03/18. Weather was fine and it was a bright sunny day. Started the climb and headed for the southern section. Was much impressed with the diversity of the people, costumes and languages/local dialects of the domestic/chinese tourist in particular and foreigners in general. Though it was low season, but there was high number of tourists climbing the Great Wall from infant to grandparents. However only managed to climb up to the 4th tower and had to back due to time constraint. Had a fantastic climb and for my next visit will be spending a whole day to enjoying the great view of the terrain and figuring out how the hell the Chinese people of that time construct such a massive wall to defend the country from invaders.

Our trip to China and in particular Beijing was made was made even more special by our tour guide Richard, from the first time we met him at the airport until he took us back the the airport, he made us feel very special. He was as a through gentlemen. He assisted us way and beyond the call of duty. Our hearts and love for the person made out trip very special.
