One of the must visit in Beijing is the Great Wall. Thus, the last day of our retreat, we visited the Great Wall of China.

We reached the Great Wall early in the morning and it's already packed with people! Looking at the scene gets me pumped up and excited. I'm going to land foot on this magnificent wall which is the only man-made structure that is visible from space.

Scaling the wall isn't an easy task! I, myself encounter difficulties climbing the Great Wall. I suffered sore joints after the climb and during the climb, panted heavily. I began wondering what the prisoners and villagers went through building this wall.

Looking back on how far I've climbed, I suddenly realized I need to cater time and strength to get back down too! The wall is 8000+ km long and it is impossible to complete given that 2 hours.

My favorite view is the photo below. We can see how far the Great Wall stretches and also the beautiful distant mountains.

One finally picture on the Great Wall before I sign off.
Enjoy the photo folks! =)
