In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Broken.”

That’s a good goal to have. We would go back in a heartbeat! If you do go you can’t go wrong with the Jinshanling section to the north of Beijing (4 hours by bus)

thanks for that tip, because I’ve seen videos of the wall (somewhere) where there were wall-to-wall people crushing each other. I DON’T want to see that.

Yep that’s Badaling – the nearest section to central Beijing. The key we found, when picking the best spots to visit was a trade off between ease of access and wealth of discovery – The harder to get to that temple/city/lagoon etc the better experience you will have once you get there and the greater the reward for that hard journey!
