Living in China. In this China Vlog, my Beijing Vlog, I am in Beijing City and we go to the Mutianyu Great Wall on New Years Day. The Great Wall of China is an amazing place to visit no matter what part of the wall you go and experience. Experience China through many different trips and see one of the most exciting countries in the world.

I went to the great wall in 2008 and in 2009 and each time I was just overwhelmed by its vastness and immense construction that made me so insignificant and humble as a human being. Thank you for sharing your awesome video and experience 🙏👍👏

@ForAllLifesAdventures Жыл бұрын

The first time I went on the wall was the same experience as you, just amazed and I felt insignificant because of how big it actually was. ❤️

I think that's why western countries cannot comprehend China unless they have lived there and realized how small they really are, physically, culturally, intellectually and historically. Western countries always judged the world around them from their own lens and never think that this is a bigger and different world outside their little bubble.. “井蛙不可语海，夏虫不可语冰”。

Nice, this is a really great section of the Wall. Visited this section of the Wall with my Chinese class. But I was so foggy and rainy, couldn't really see anything. Went back with some friends from Norway, in lovely autumn weather. They were so eager, so we walked very far along the Wall. After a couple of towers, no more tourists. Only us crazy Norwegians 😀

It is a pity your class didn't get to see the splendour of the wall on a clear day as that would help the whole learning experience. Glad you and your friends got to see the wall on a good day and you are right, if you take a walk along the wall the crowds thin out and you can really enjoy the experience. If you are a walker, it is a great activity. ✌️

Thank you Sharon... I think the same, how tough life would have been on the wall, however there was many garrisons and villages that supported life around and across the areas of the wall. but still, a tough life. ✌️

Still very few people. If anyone thinks that it's because of the cold weather or the time of the year, you're wrong. The Great Wall is usually busy all the year round. It's because of Covid. Next year it will be busy again, unless there's another pandemic. Cheers Iain.

Thanks Robin, this week we are seeing more people now back out on the streets and moving around Beijing but things will take time for people to build up the confidence to go to places like the Wall. 👍

Amazing views. I miss the Great Wall. Lived in Beijing for a while and I used to be on the wall almost every weekend. My favorite parts were Jiankou and Panlongshan. Not a fan of the touristic ones

@ForAllLifesAdventures Жыл бұрын

There are some great wild wall areas to visit so you can avoid the tourist wall sections/crowds and see the wall in a more natural way. I have a couple of Great Wall videos where I visited the wild wall. An old one from last year is excellent and another video where I stayed in a local B&B in a village at the wall is also decent to watch if you have the time. ❤️

Yeah, we took them off on the wall as there were so few people around. We did put them back on if we were in a crowded area - there was not many crowded areas.
