The Flying Fox123 viewsNot to brag or anything, but this was one heck of a flying fox.
|
|

Final Towers121 viewsIf you look in the distance you can see the wall goes on but my destination is at the bottom of that valley.
|
|

View of Simatai121 viewsIn the upper left you can see the bridge and lake that mark Simatai, the end of my journey.
|
|

Back at the Bridge118 viewsThe Simatai crossing.
|
|

Fast Way Down114 views20 minutes walking or a Flying Fox trip to the bottom? Decision made.
|
|

Not Going To Miss113 viewsThere are a few things I won't miss about China. Rolled up shirts are one of them.
|
|

Reclaiming the Wall111 viewsIt came from the Earth and the planet wants it back. Weeds have taken over a thousand years but they're breaching China's defences.
|
|

Suspense Bridge104 viewsWooden planks are not the only thing near the end of their ropes.
|
|

Steep Incline96 viewsNext rest point: the top.
|
|

Dean in Beijing95 viewsYes, I was there around the time of the Olympics. But, sadly, not during them.
|
|

Chenlu - The Front Door93 viewsOne the main gate for coming to and from Beijing, now it is a decorative piece of restored architecture in the city's heart.
|
|

The I Love China Campaign92 viewsThe question is, who loves China the most. Certainly, without a shirt to proclaim it, it isn't me. Though they did lend me a flag for the photo.
|
|

Road to Ruin91 viewsThis part of the Great Wall is not so touristed and as a result it's not being maintained. It's much more appealing to walk the original wall.
|
|

Hall of Embracing the Universe90 viewsThough it doesn't look especially universal, I think before electricity and the city grew this little place would've been ideal for stargazing.
|
|

Flowery Lakeside89 viewsAs boats go by in the distance and a very tall pagoda keeps watch.
|
|

Seventeen Arch Bridge89 viewsLeading to the Hall of Embracing the Universe on a small island, probably once a good place to lay back and look at the stars.
|
|

All That's Left89 viewsThis watch tower has good visibility in all directions, but protection is inadequate.
|
|

Jade Belt Bridge88 viewsI'm not sure of the name of the building soaring up on the mountain top, though.
|
|

Summer Palace87 viewsKunming Lake is the centrepiece but like all good centrepieces only serves to frame everything beautifully along the periphery, flowers, pagodas, and palaces.
|
|

Marble Boat87 viewsIt's a marble boat, but can it float?
