The Great Wall

For our adventure to China, we spent the first three days in Beijing for some sightseeing. First on the docket was a jaunt out to see the Great Wall. We hit the pass at Juyong Guan (close to Badaling). This was quite the stair workout.

You can see the haze in the air around Beijing in the pictures below.
