We drove to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall! We rode on a ski lift from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the wall. There are 5 sections of the Great Wall that have been restored so that you can climb it. I do mean climb! There were no flat areas. It was all stairs of different heights and sizes. You had to really watch what you were doing! The stairs were so steep that in areas people were climbing down backwards or sitting down and scooting down the steps on their bottoms! It was very hard work! It was amazing just to think you were climbing on this ancient structure that you'd heard and read so much about! Different sites have different ways of getting back down after you have climbed. This section of the wall had a metal tobaggon run that you could ride to the bottom instead of going on a ski lift. I rode the toboggan down to the bottom! Stanley was in my backpack, too! It was great fun!
