"Cable car up, Toboggan Down!"

Sounds like the trip plan at a amusement park, right?
How about the Great Wall of China?!

When deciding which section of the Great Wall to go to, we made the decision based on one thing -- a toboggan ride.

Welcome to China in the 21st Century. Things have become so touristy that you can go on a super fun ride, even when you are at one of the 8 wonders of the world.

It was really incredible being here. It is something that we have seen pictures of our whole lives, and to actually stand on the Great Wall of China was pretty spectacular. We had a hard time walking up and down the stairs (after we took the cable car up the mountain) so to imagine the construction of the wall is mind-boggling.
