The Great Wall of China - Day 15

We think these are the pics from the Great Wall...?
Had so many good ones, choosing was hard, and YES, Hanna is wearing the ultimate tourist t-shirt, and proud of it.
So the part of the wall we visited was Huang Hue (?) and we strongly recomend it!
The wall was quite 'small' compared to the mountains surrounding it, but the view from it was majestetic, no matter the fog/mist/cloud.
It was a lot steeper then I thought it would be, and we litterally CLIMBED the Great Wall of China.
As we wrote earlier we had the wall pretty much to ourselves, which was amazing. Since we had to cross the local people's land, we had to pay 2 yuang (20 cents) to some of the locals whose land we crossed while climbing up to the wall.
Our entire trip cost about 650 yuang all in all, since we 'rented' a car and a driver to take us anywhere we wanted. After reading about the different parts of the wall, Huang Hue, which is unrestored and a bit 'dangerous for Chinese tuorists', seemed like the place for us, and then we got to walk freely for about 4 hours until we retourned to our waiting chauffeur. It was definitely the most suitable option for us, and for me, Hanna, the wall was definitely the highlight in China so far.
Thanks again Kira!
