Savaged parts of the Great Wall of China - a very special experience. Great Wall of China, 万里长城, Chenjiapu, Huailai, Zhangjiakou, Hebei, 中国 - 河北省张家口市怀来县

My number one life-experience was climbing savaged parts of the Great Wall of China. Visiting this monument, far off normal tourist points, no one else crossed our way. It was an exhausting but wunderful experience. Enjoying the sunshine, clear air, now and then cold shadows in the old watch towers and wild nature all around me.

Climbing some wild parts of the Great Wall of China. These 6 hours hiking were absoutly exhausting but included the most beautiful views of this fascinating monument and it's deserted ambiance. Our little group of seven people didn't meet anybody else, no living soul except a wild pig and some ravens. It's my number one life experience. Family Chen is friendly, it was a warm welcome. I felt comfortable at their house and garden (with all those beautiful flowers and cute animals) and enjoyed being their guest for two days. The hiking tour was absolutly great, diner and breakfast was delicious and I was sad, when I had to head back to Beijing.
