The Great Wall

Welcome to the Great Wall of China!
We went to Mùtiányù, a small village a couple hours outside of Běi​jīng​. From Běi​jīng​, there is a closer place to visit the wall but it is far more crowded.  Mùtiányù is farther away, so fewer people come here.  We hired a taxi for the day to get here.  The day was beautiful fall afternoon so it was a great time to visit.


 The Chinese have a saying: “bú dào Chángchéng fēi hǎohàn”  which means "until you reach the Great wall, you are not a brave man"
