Sunrise / Morning at Simatai Great Wall (Part 3)
2008.07.18
The next day, Sunday, we woke up at 4:30 and climbed the other side of Sematai Great Wall. The guard outside our hostel blocked us from entering the gate but we made our way by using our charms.
We explored the western part of the Wall.

This is the part where we climbed on Saturday afternoon. It looked fantastic on a Sunday morning sunrise.

The Eastern and Western parts are divided by a lake. Hikers need to pay RMB 5 to get through the hanging bridge.

One best thing about the western part is that you can see the curves of the Wall's stature that beautifully caress the hills and grasses.

wow... great set :) this is certainly on my list of one of the places I would love to visit certainly for its history and even more so for its photography
What a phenomenal journey you have been on and taken us to as well. From sunrise to sunset, it's all amazing! 27 took my breath away - saved to fav. :)
