This summer, I went to the Great Wall, and thought I'd post a couple of tips and tricks!
1. Wear sunglasses and a hat for travels from late spring to late fall. Also, makes sure to wear light comfortable clothing, like Underarmour type clothes.
2. Wear comfortable sneakers, with good grips. Throughout the Great Wall, there are numerous fallen-in places that you have to climb over. It's a good idea to crawl slowly over these places.
3. Avoid weeks with any rainy days, even if that day doesn't predict rain. The Great Wall gets very slippery and dangerous when wet because of the slopes and stairs.
4. On the cable car up to the wall, try to get the one that Michelle Obama sat in! There will be blue letters on the window of the car she rode in. I got to sit in the one that the British PM sat in and it made for a great photo! *Only Badaling and Mutianying have cable cars*
Reminds me of the lines of doors from Monsters Inc. |
5. Bring 3 bottles of water for each person. There is nowhere else to get water. Also, don't bring dry snacks as they will dry out your mouth quickly. i.e. Goldfish, Sandwiches
Ok!
That's Pt. 1 for the Great Wall!
