this morning we walk to the village of gubeikou. the wall sits along the yanshan mountains and is architecturally one of the most striking sections of the wall. parts of the wall date back to the ming dynasty and are un-restored (i presume not a starbucks in sight!). it is is 2 - 3 meters wide and there are no side walls. this is one of the least visisted sections of the wall. we then descend into a valley and stop for lunch after which we start an hour climb through through steep narrow paths before making our way to jinshanling.
once again, click on the pic above to link to someone's photo album of the area.
