China Trip 之 Badaling Great Wall (八达岭长城)and The Legend of Kung Fu performance (少林传奇)


May 17th The Badaling Great Wall

After lunch we arrived at the Badaling Great Wall. There are two main spots to get on the great wall in Beijing. The most famous and common one is the Badaling Great Wall. “Ba Da Ling” literally means “the mountain that connects to eight directions”, this spot on the great wall has access to parts of the great wall to all directions. Because we arrived in the afternoon, there were so many people there already. I suggest you go early morning, you can take better pictures then and it’s less crowded. Nevertheless we had a great time.

All the steps on the great all are not even. There are tiny steps that can only fit half your foot, others are knee high monstrous steps. Climbing the great wall is definitely exhausting, especially with the heat and the crowd. There were a couple country people wanted their pictures taken with Rob. It was funny…

This show was AMAZING. It was beyond verbal descriptions. We had really good seats and it was just an experience of a lifetime.
