Visit to the Great Wall at the not at all crowded section at Juyongguan. Not a lot of reading this day. Many, many steps left me too tired to pick up a book. Not sure my thighs have recovered!

So far only one social site not blocked in Mainland China and it‘s Litsy! Heading to the Great Wall today. #china

Laura317 Enjoy the Great Wall! We‘ve been twice before our two adoptions. Both times it snowed! Where else in China have you gone? 5y
TrishB From my experience it varies from place to place, but generally could always get on Litsy! 5y
LeahBergen Well, that‘s lucky! Enjoy your holiday! 5y
