On top of the Great Wall 长城

ZheJiang province.

The exquisitely beautiful LiJiang (丽江) is located in YunNan province in south west China and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is populated mainly by the NaXi ethnic minority. LiJiang lies close to Tiger Leaping Gorge and the Snow Dragon Mountain.

A great film of the Great Wall north of Beijing, including 'wild wall', accompanied by great music (踏古 (Ta Gu) by Lin Hai, 'Walking into Ancientry', with Chinese lute (pipa)). We [mum, dad - videographer - and son and daughter, from Singapore] hiked 3 sections of the Great Wall in winter, without any guides after studying blogs and posts by fellow hikers.

There are three trails along this deepest river gorge in the world - lower, middle and upper. The views are amazing and the experience truly unforgettable.

Capital of JiangSu province.

DānXiá Shān is a world famous UNESCO World Heritage Site Geo-Park. The area comprises a reddish sandstone which has been eroded over the years into a series of outcrops with spectacular cliffs and unusual rock formations. There are a number of temples in the mountains and many scenic paths. FuYiJiang River winds through the mountains and boat trips are possible.

Far north west China ...

Perhaps the most beautiful section and a great hike. About two and a half hours or so north east of BeiJing.

GuangXi province in south China. A very picturesque place, with thousands of tall karst limestone hills.
