A new park in Beijing on a very hazy day in Beijing with Chen, Huiying, and Liu Bing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great will near Simatai. A new section of restored wall.  Now there are about a half dozen restored sections. Rare snow made it a very good time to visit!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cold and windy at first..

Some of these really look cool with the regular format before being compressed for the internet.

Farmer’s Family.. what a feast they prepared. We spent 2 nights with them.  Very gracious

 

 

 

Just Breakfast.. should have seen dinner!

Next day we got up at 5:45 to watch the sunrise after hiking up to the unrestored wall just above the village where we were staying.  Very nice!

I think we enjoy the unrestored wall even more than the spruced up part.  Like walking on history.
