Great Wall of China trek day 5

Image
The final day of trekking we went to do a short warm down walk along the popular Juyongguan section. A loop defending a passage way through the mountains to Beijing. It was very busy here, mainly with school kids on a trip. Exhausted from the 4 days prior, we still found this short trek very difficult walking up and down the steep steps. On the way we stopped by another section out in the middle of nowhere to lay a brick on a part of the wall which is currently being restored. Distance trekked: 3km Max altitude: 480m Time: 3 hours Thus concludes our Great Wall of China trek! We are very proud of what we achieved. It has been very hard but well worth it.
