basically all anyone could say was "I feel like this will be really pretty when leaves are on the trees?"
do you see that guard station at the top of the next hill? I climbed all the way up there--the view was incredible! I was so exhausted by the time I finally got to the top, but it was worth it!
the stairs are treacherous! not only are they all different heights, but they literally feel just like a wall they are so steep. We got out of a guard station and were faced with this wall of stairs and were just so discouraged.
This is technically a little "out-of-bounds", but the view was incredible! Back here are a bunch of ruins of the wall that they haven't rebuilt yet, but it was so worth it!
I explored some of the ruins from the guard tower.
These were the steps back down from the top. As if getting all the way up wasn't hard enough, one wrong move on the way down and you're a goner.
For the rest of the way down, they had a toboggan ride, which I turned into more of a bumper car game. It was by far the best way to leave the Great Wall ever created.
