On this hike we went out to Changping District to hike a stretch of Great Wall near Longquanyu.

After we’d finished on the wall, we turned up a valley to follow the trail that would lead us to the end of the hike.

We found that the small stream that usually runs down the valley had frozen into a river of ice – a bit tricky to cross at a few points!

We made it out without worries and finished our hike in style with some cold beers and snacks.
