The 13th Emperor's Tomb and BaDaLing Greatwall - Day 3

You gonna get very tired if you walk the stairs with heavy armour and weapon.
The steps are very steep and some part is slippery too.





Took the cable car to the top to save time and energy.
A glance on great wall inside the van.
A visit to the jade shop before going for lunch, 'standard procedure' when you join local tour to Badaling Greatwall.
Ancient way of 'Quality Control', your name/company crafted on the brick, so don't mess up with the quality when you deliver the bricks to Emperor as tomb building material.

Ancient Emperor's statue. The wooden pillars are very expensive timber.
The beam are constructed without using a single nail.

Well done ! You are so brave and adventurous! These are great pictures of the Great Wall! Which reminds me... I should go through my India pictures and post some. Having read this I thought it was rather informative. I appreciate you finding the time and energy to put this article together. I once again find myself personally spending a significant amount of time both reading and leaving comments. But so what, it was still worth it! In return, I also found a great blog of Great Wall travel tips, I'd love to share it here with you and for future travelers. http://www.wildgreatwall.com/which-part-of-the-great-wall-is-the-best-to-visit/
