During my absence from blogging, I had exams and other stuff that kept me occupied. However, it was primarily laziness of having to type out a whole entry and upload pictures- time consuming!
Ok so last Friday school organised a trip to 长城 aka great wall - 幕田峪 aka Mu Tian Yu. It was nothing like Ba Da Ling since it was on a hill/mountain and had to climb a super long flight of steps or could ride a cable car up, my group went by foot.
Without further a do, here are the pictures...
So the journey from school took a grueling 2hours on the bus. But it was so darn hard to sleep since it kept rocking due to the uneven grounds.
Anyway this is the olympic stadium called 鸟巢 "bird's nest". Still cannot enter until the olympics is done.
So this is like the entrance area to 幕田峪. While we waited for our tour guide to get us the admission tickets, we were taking some very random pictures. Oh yeah so above you can spot a donkey randomly grazing a grass patch opposite a drain ; feasting on wild grass.
Anyway, these are some of the pictures. My crazy japanese friend, yumi, was literally on the edge of the great wall. if she lost her footing, she would have rolled down the mountain. She is the one clad in the red top and all of us were taking photos of her as though she was some exhibit in the zoo.
My review on this trip, quite a sight but simply not worth the walk up. If anyone wants to come to MuTianYu my suggestion would be to take the cable car up. It took us almost 40mins of climbing steps upwards and to just see foilage and fog. It was really breath-taking (pun intended).
