The Great Wall

Finally got the chance to climb up to the top of the Great Wall at Badaling, on the outskirt of Beijing. A bit hotter at the foot of the wall, then became cooler and windy at the top as you climbed up. The made me the HERO.

 

The portion of the wall running through the site was built in 1504 during the Ming Dynasty, along with a military outpost reflecting the location's strategic importance. The highest point of Badaling is Beibalou, approximately 1,015metres above sea level. The earliest part of the Wall was built thousands of years ago!

 

Some archaeological survey found that the entire Great Wall with all of its branches measure out to be 21,196 km.
