RE: China #9: Off the beaten track – Breathtaking Hike on the Great Wall of China (1/3)
When you travel so far away to see something so monumental then I think it's better to pay more. And it was absolutely worth it. There is no one! It must have been a surreal feeling to stand there on your own and enjoy such views. Your photos are beautiful!
Great hike, private tour guide and delicious meal. Your money was well spent ;)
Looking forward to see/read more from your Chinese adventure!
thanks :) Oh yes, it was - it is difficult to describe that feeling and the memories are unforgettable. But that really is the phenomenon in China - go to the best known spots and you will be overrun by tourists, go little bit off the beaten track, and you really can enjoy these moments on your own.
I'm glad that you told me about that as we're planning a trip to Asia and I was afraid of many tourists. Now I know how to get rid of them :)
Unfortunately we had to go to China in August. If you can avoid the main season you will have an even better time ;)
Thank you for the tip!
