Great Wall In Autumn Hues


The Badaling section of the Great Wall is derided by some as the Chinese Disneyland for the level of restoration work it underwent. In my eyes, there is nothing wrong with that - instead of the impeccably maintained gangways we could have had to risk our life and limb on crumbled stairs and dilapidated watchtowers.

And the scenery is nothing short of dramatic - a menacing-looking mighty fortification line meandering away to the horizon amidst the misty autumn-hewn hills.
