Saturday morning, after meeting for Breakfast, we (Steve H., Steven L., our driver, and myself) headed for the Great Wall Mutianyu (Mew-Tee-On-Yew) site (click the link, it's where the wall makes a Y northeast of Beijing). It took a while to get going the right direction out of Beijing - something about our driver being from Tianjin, not Beijing.
When we were pulling into the parking lot, somebody was walking a 2-humped camel up the road. That was interesting to see! Once we got there, the wall was spectacular. We rode the chairlift to the top, then explored the wall as far out to the right as we were allowed to go (right where it splits). The portions of the wall that tourists can walk on have been restored. At the end of the tourist area, there were cool old sections of the "Original" wall which have not been restored. Check out the rest of the photos on flickr
