Mountains at Great Wall

More mountains. More Great Wall. Note that the Great Wall is big enough to stretch across the United States from east to west. Almost twice. This could have been the answer to America’s Civil War. It could still be the answer to our immigration problem. We simply build a wall. Of course that would make it difficult for those who are here illegally to get out, but they should have thought of that before they came here.

Top of the Wall

The wall is huge. It’s 8.5 miles around. I rented a bicycle for $3. One of the pedals fell off of the first bicycle I rented. I tried to get the attendant to adjust the seat on the second one so that I could get a little leg extension. I think he told me take a flying leap in Chinese.

Up the Wall

The ticket to get into the gate to go up onto the city wall cost me 40 yuan, about $$6. No one told me there was a charge just to get up on the wall. I was a little surprised. Everyone told me that I had to pay 20 yuan, $3, to rent a bicycle for 90 minutes. This picture is a picture of the stairs leading to the top of the wall. The wall is a really big place. I have read where it is the largest city wall in the world. However, I looked up the number of walled cities in the world and the list was overwhelming. There is no way I would want to research all of the walled cities of the world.
