RE: China #9: Off the beaten track – Breathtaking Hike on the Great Wall of China (1/3)
I was reading something that said this wall could not have been used to keep people out and that maybe it was used to keep people in instead.
Looking at your photos, some of the areas look very low. Is that a trick of the camera or were they as low to the surroundings as they look?
never heard this point of view ;) Actually, the wall wasn't that low :-D to get on it, we had to climb a little bit. I think it looks quite low beacause of the trees around - if I remember it correctly, the wall is 10 m high and 6 m wide!
I think someone could climb the trees lol, but they probably were not there when it was in use.
