So, there are four access points to the Great Wall within a few hours' drive of Beijing. I vetoed going to tourist-overrun Badaling, and have been to Simatai, so we decided to embark on a subway to bus to taxi adventure to Jingshangling, the most remote access point. A crazy transit adventure only Peter could love.
So worth it. We nearly had the place to ourselves. Except for two local ladies who helpfully tagged along to help us up and down the steep steps, give us some information and history about this particular segment of the Great Wall, and of course, sell us some stuff at the end.

I will look forward to checking out the blog for pictures and notes. Thanks for doing it...
Can't believe the public transit adventures we are missing out on...
Looks like you guys are having fun. The spot on the wall you're standing at appears to be similar to where I was. We'll have to compare photos once you're back in LA.
I took a nap today and dreamt about taking public transit. I woke up with a headache and all sweaty. Draw your own conclusions.
This is great! Have a wonderful time out there. Can't wait to hear more about it.
