Getting in quick updates before my VPN expires. I have finally seen the Great Wall of China 🇨🇳This has been on my bucket list since I wrote it down November 2008. We managed to get in there before the droves of people so I actually had a moment to myself on a part of the wall gazing out over the valley, imagining how it was to be a soldier in the days it was new, scouting for enemies or trade caravans. The wall wasn’t just protection against the Mongolians, it was also put in place to make sure taxes would be paid on goods coming in. The more you learn, eh? The part we went to was one of the best kept so nothing about it was crumbling into overgrown grass, but it still had an ancient feeling about it. I was incredibly impressed seeing the wall stretch as far as the eye could see... Insane. Also, we felt a bit sorry for the soldiers of old that must have been even shorter than us, cause those steps where crazy. And crazy uneven! One step was 20 cm high, the two next ones 40 cm and then the next one 27,2 cm high (exaggeration for impact, guys!!1) - you get my point. My legs didn’t work properly for two days after. Totally worth it ❤️❤️ . . . . . @magasinetreiselyst @nomaden.reisebutikken @DigitalNomadGirls #BakoymaTravels #Adventure #Explore #Exploremore #LifeIsSick #FemaleTravelBloggers #FemaleTraveler #Instagrammers #RoundTheWorld #RTW #SoloTraveller #Weta #Travel #Travelbug #Travelgram #TravelPic #Travels #Wanderlust #LifeWellTraveled #WorldTravel #DontBelieveTheNarrative #Life #BucketList #China #Beijing #GreatWall
