Great Wall at Mutianyu, Thursday morning:
Again Mrs. Chen got us vans and drivers and even a guide and we headed north about 90 km to a restored part of the wall that isn't as tourist-laden as Badaling. Here we are, forgoing the cable car up the hill to the wall. Just to give you some idea of how far up it was, I took three pictures of us just climbing the stairs (the other two I'll save for another album), mostly because I had to stop to catch my breath. It was somewhat disheartening when the elderly Chineses folk passed me. (Notice the autumn colors on the leaves.)
