How to climb the Great Wall of China
It made me
excited and inspired
 "Breathtaking, challenging, inspirational..."
How I did it: There are quite a few different routes you can take...some are more challenging than others...some more "touristy" and others more rugged. You should research the different hikes before you get there. I took a cable car up, hiked for hours along a pretty steep route, and then tobogganed down! Lessons & tips: Wear comfortable running shoes...it's more of a hike than you might think! |

How I did it: I first climbed the wall in Badaling outside of Beijing. This section has been rebuilt and is for tourists. The section in Qinhuangdao was original and many of the towers were still in good condition. So many beautiful things to see. Read how I did it…

Happy but tired
How I did it: Thanks to my generous parents I was able to visit China. One of the excursions on our itinerary was to visit The Great Wall. We had a choice of just viewing The Great Wall from below or actually climb up. I knew that I did not just travel all the way to China just to look at The Great Wall. I had to climb it. Going up was pretty easy for me. Going down was the problem. I'm terrified of heights so it took me a while to get down from those … Read how I did it…

How I did it: The hardest part was getting to China. Once there, asthma is a bit of a problem. And the heat in the summer can really knock you out. I'd suggest sometime in the spring. Read how I did it…

I already did this. It was nine years ago what I was in University. At Simitai- it was pretty undeveloped at the time. Awesome- there is a proverb posted that says “He who does not make it to the Great Wall is not a true man.” Exhausting but very worth it.

The wall seemed huge to a tiny kid. Could barely make it up some huge step ups. Beautiful, fabulous country. Great experience!
