startin' the day out very early:  07:00 am @ the ju-yong-guan section of the great wall of china.  about 54f -n- cool,  some 37 miles away from down-town beijing,  china a colourful gate as view'd from the entrance to the ju-yong-guan section of the great wall of china. ju-yong-guan pass of the great wall, with a high-way under-neath it. 
the xiong-mao ready for a BIG hike up the great wall .. it still about 55f or so this early in the mourning. (but NOT for long!) in-side the court-yard of the ju-yong-guan section of the great wall main building.   sitting in the main section of the great wall near some old cannons.  yeah, the chineze did invent gun-powder, also fire-worx.
a gao-xing xiong-mao ready for a BIG hike up the great wall today. standing in the main area of the entrance area, with the xiong-mao mama-san on my right. standing in main building of the ju-yong-guan seciont of the great wall.    05/02/08
in-side the fortress towers,  NO running water,  NO electricity,  NO toilets,  NO cable tv. the beginning of the ju-yong-guan great wall hike is very steep.    no matter how COLD u'll think it is, u'll heat up very quickly while doing this strenuous hike up the great wall.
xiong-mao peeking through the wall 1 of the fortress towers, which has beenth converted to sell souveneers  the rest-rooms 1/2 way up to the summit  (I WONT describe the conditions of it)  it probably wusnt made in 770 b.c. as the rest of the wall.    05/02/08
2 buildings (1 is the rest-rooms), concession stands about 1/2 way up the hike nearing the summit of the ju-yong-guan hike of the great wall of china.  even being 37 miles away from beijing, the SMOG is very thick. this is the END, the SUMMIT of the ju-yong-guan section of the great wall.  NO can go on from here! 
stair-way leading to the top of the fortress tower, very STEEP,  like a ladder.  looking down from near the summit, the parking area is barely visible in the SMOG. puka in-side the great wall, for shooting bad peoples.  (i dunno if guns were invented already @ 770 b.c.)
 this is a strenuous hike,  already the temperature hath climbed to over 70f under smoggy sky's.  (it felt really HOT at this point!)   standing in front of a great wall fortress tower xiong-mao enjoying the tough hike up the great wall
a concession stand building near the top of the ju-yong-guan section of the great wall,  the SMOG is very thick today!  05/02/08   by mid-mourning, it gets very crowded -n- HOT  (75f) here.    05/02/08 this ant no can move 1 rubber tree plant (as frankie sinatra would sing) but it sure could climb HIGH on the great wall of china!
