With the BJ Hikers, Cat, GS & I headed up to the Great Wall's Round Towers over the weekend. The round tower sits on the top of the mountain, where the mountain cantilevers over the valley. These towers were used as beacons at the end of the Wall, where the cliff face was so shear it could not continue. It took us 1hr 45 min to navigate the very steep paths to get to the top of the 700m tall mountainm, which look out over Miyun's reservoir (Beijing's largest) and across the mountains.
The hike downhill was through dirt paths, a Bamboo house and stone village to cold beers!
It was a good hike, afterwhich we headed out for a foot massage and had to put up with a few days of aching muscles!
We also befriended another hiker and caught up for dinner day after!
