Great Wall Travel Blogs

Sunday, April 22-    Today was the day we had set aside for a trip to the Great Wall, another must-see when in China.   The closest section to the city (and most popular, touristy and overcrowded)  Is the Great Wall at Badaling...but we didn't really want to see i…

All I can say about the Great wall is WOW!!! I can't even imagine working on it when it was first being built talking about an architect’s feat!!! The manpower it took to build and place each stone. The Great Wall of China was built over 2,000 years ago, by Qin Shi Huangdi, the first emperor…

Today we had planned on heading to the Huang Ha section of the Great wall to spend the night there.

a compilation of pictures from my travels in the past ;-)

I've been around the world and I still have many places to visit. But, I hope my pictures will inspire people to go and see some of the things that I have seen.

For as long as I can remember I have dreamt of seeing the Great Wall of China. It wasn't until recently that I discovered that it was possible to actually hike on remote, unspoiled areas away from the busy tourist spots littered with vendors selling tshirts and other souvenirs. After contacting a g…

A whirlwind two week tour to see the major sights in China. Had dear old dad with me so that was a challenge and a whole lot of fun!

East or West, Home is the BEST xxx

I went to a conference in Beijing china and had a great time, the only bad thing was the smog it was terrible.

We woke up today, packed up our stuff including the damp clothes from yesterday's laundry, and went to a new hotel that we saw while walking around last night.  This hotel was significantly cheaper and up the road some from where we were the night before.  We had some steamed buns (3…
