Who Built This 2- It's a power line in the middle of the Great Wall. Are you kidding me? I'm betting that it went up during the "Mao Dynasty," i.e. the mid 1900's.
Who Built This- I don't think this shack is part of the Great Wall, but rather a small tower off in the distance. We zoomed in our camera and took a picture. Someone had to strap those bricks and concrete and water to the top of that mountain and build that. Crazy...
View from Guard Tower- You can vaguely see the Chinese writing on the side of the hill.
Steep Wall 1015- This more accurately shows how steep some of the sections of the wall could be. This shows, from bottom up, Sam, Nathan, Whitney, and KATIE at the top. A girl in our group asked, "Why did they shoot arrows? They should just let the Mongols climb the wall, and then just push them down the stairs..."
Inside a Guard Tower 1- This is me in the tower at the top of the mountain. I am walking toward a window that we climbed out of to explore more of the wall.
