Yes, I was thinking the same! Looks like a very nice part of the wall to walk and enjoy the beauty. :)

Kathy and Dayle - Yes, deserted. This part of the wall near Gubeikou is 110 kms from the Forbidden City as the crow flies and is partly in Hebei Province; thus it would be a very long day for daytrippers....Our research paid off!
