A wonderful journey, well arranged, with a pleasant team. It was whatever we desired it to be: we obtained the walking (remarkable), we obtained treats as well as water, we were selected up as well as provided back, as well as we had a wonderful lunch to round it off. The 4 of us were likewise exceptionally happy to GWAC for reimbursing the cash of the 5th participant of the celebration, that was also sick to come, without any type of quibbles.

The Jinshanling Great Wall section roughly starts from the west five-eye tower to the west and east to the vicinity of the Linlin tower. There are more than thirty enemy buildings in total. From the Linlin Tower eastward to Simatai Reservoir (Hot Spring Lake), there are about eleven enemy buildings, but they already belong to the Simatai Great Wall section.
Between the West Five Eye Tower and the Dajinshan Tower is the part of the Jinshanling Great Wall section that has been completely repaired and maintained. There are more than a dozen enemy buildings in between. Starting from the Dajinshan Tower to the east, it is the Wild Great Wall that has remained in its original state. Although the wall of the Night Great Wall section is basically complete, most of the upper chop walls have collapsed or been demolished; most of the enemy buildings have been severely damaged, and many of them simply have only one layer of short walls left. Despite this, the momentum of the Great Wall depends on it, and the brokenness reveals the original vicissitudes of history.
