NEVER in my life did I think I would see this place with my own eyes or walk the steps with my own feet!
And I am so glad to have climbed the entire section of the Badaling area.
I was feeling so proud of myself when I realized that a 90 year old woman and her 70-something year old son had effortlessly passed me up as I took a short breather and rest stop along watchtower #4.
I tried to imagine smoke signals and horsemen riding up and down the walls; and, boy are they steep! There is even a place inscribed in ANCIENT Chinese that says "utmost danger".
Joining Ghangis Kubla Kan, Attila the Hun as wall climbers are Lupe, Xiao Liang and me!
