Great Wall

 When Nixon came to China I think he said the memorable line "It really is a great wall." The Mutainyu section is a little further away than the more heavily visited Badaling area, but it is remarkable. My guide told a story of the Chinese proverb that says you become a man when you climb the Great Wall - so I'm thinking "climb?", must be something lost in the translation... Wrong - it is steep as HELL.
