Mutianyu great Wall 慕田峪長城 3

This section of the great wall stretches east to Gubeikou and west to Juyongguan. It defended the capital and the imperial tombs from the "barbarians" from the north. It has on average more watch towers than other sections of the great wall. There is no direct public transport to Mutianyu compared to Badaling. As such, we chose to come here because there are less tourists.
































































不到长城非好汉
He who has not been to the Great Wall is not a hero
This verse is taken from a poem by Mao Zedong



Juyongguan Great Wall in 2001
I have been a hero since then
