Beijing - Great Wall

We chose the Mutianyu section of the great wall because I'd heard it was a little less commercialized than the other nearby option. I didn't really have any expectations of the wall, so when i got there I was blown away. What an insane undertaking! The wall is literally built at the top of the highest ridge around. Standing on it, I felt exhilerated and almost invincible. What a fantastic dream. Are there any countries thinking on such a grand scale these days? (Well, maybe the states with their wall between the US and Mexico...)

Here's my favourite shot of mine. Chad's blog has got a bunch more.
