The Wendling's at the Great Wall of China


Earlier this Fall the Wendling family had an opportunity to spend 10 days in China.  Specifically they were in Beijing and Xi'an and had the chance to see some of the most fascinating sites in the world.


On one of the days the Wendling's had the chance to experience the Great Wall of China.  As you look at the pictures it is hard to believe that such a marvel or wonder was created over 2 000 years ago.  In fact, the pictures do not do justice to how awesome the Great Wall is.

Above is Kevin, standing on a guard look out which points towards the valley which this portion of the Great Wall protects.  The part of the Great Wall has had parts rebuilt so that tourists are able to safely see and climb the wall.




Pictured above the is the Wendling family at the base of an incredible climb to the top of Baulding Mountain, and what a climb it was.  (see below)



 After a very full day a Baulding the Wendling family needed to head back to Beijing to see much more of the city.  Truly, the Great Wall of China was one of the Greatest sites seen by us while in Asia.  As we jump for joy and say goodbye we hope you will stay tune for our next adventure.
