Afternoon Hike Up the Wild Walls | Sunrise at Zhen Bei Lou | Arrving at Jian Kou

Afternoon Hike Up the Wild Walls

The wild wall is unrestored and thus very dangerous. As we ventured further and further up the wall, we have to overcome many obstacles. I must say I am glad to survive in one piece. April 13
