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!) |
