We had a lovely and mild blue sky day for this Spring Festival walk along the Great Wall at Gubeikou, giving excellent views of the wall and surrounding mountains.
See more info about the hike in the captions of the photos.

Looking back along the trail. In this photo you can see where bricks have fallen away to reveal the inside of the wall, which in this area is made up of rammed earth and compacted rubble. In the far off mountains is the ‘Crouching Tiger’ Mountain Great Wall.
