Very cold morning,after having some biscult/nescafee,quickly we packed and go at 8am.The road is very scenic,less traffic but very wilding and hilly as shown from the data,11% max climb.Heather is very strong on the hill but Ulla was slow and had to push on very steep side.For me, the recumbent is really good although with some 20kg of weight.Badaling is a tourist town with lots of tourists fr inland and abroad.Recumbent has attracted many due to its unique shape and style in seating,many stop by to get closer look. We decided to stay a nite here and climb the Great Wall,this has long been my dream and i wouldn't want to miss it. We found a farmstay for 30 rmb each leave our bags and paid rmb 45 to climb the Wall . It was really spectacular to see this great ancent manmade architechture winding like a snake up in the mountains.This Wall was built several thousands years age just to prevent the Manchuria to attack China.
