The Great Wall at Jiankou

The trees were still brown, but spring has sprung and cherry blossoms are everywhere.

We had a great hike along the wall near Jiankou. Technically this part of the wall is closed, in reality it’s open enough that you need to buy a ticket.

Some parts were extremely steep, but very manageable. I couldn’t imagine living on the wall hundreds of years ago having to bring water up these cliffs.
