The Great Wall of China in Mutianyu


The Great Wall of China is referred to in Mandarin as Wanli Changcheng (10,000-Li Long Wall or simply very long wall)


BEIJING, CHINA- Since I was a child, I always wonder how it is to traverse The Great Wall of China. So many questions keep popping on my head, like would it collapse when I walked on the thousand years old flooring? Or would my stiletto heeled boots be caught in between the tiles that made up the Great wall? Would I be the Jill tumbling down the Great Wall? Ha ha ha!

My childhood dream became a reality when I joined a tour to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall of China last November 24, 2010, for 320 RMB including entrance fee, breakfast, lunch and transportation to and from Mutianyu. 

Mutianyu is a very ideal location to appreciate the grandness of the Great Wall as well as to avoid the crowds of the portion of the Great Wall at Badaling. 

Mutianyu is the most beautiful section of the Great Wall of China, filled with fragrant flowers in spring, abundantly verdant in summer, charming with red-leafed maple trees in autumn and enchanting covered in pure white snow in winter.


Cable cars are available to help visitors go up The Great Wall of China in Mutianyu easily. The cost is 45 RMB. It is better to get the package of Cable going up plus Toboggan going down for only 65 RMB. This is not included in the tour package. You have to shell out another 65 RMB on top of the 320 RMB tour package.  You could opt to have the cable car alone going up The Great Wall of China in Mutianyu for 45 RMB per person.


I was so afraid that at first,  I did not enjoy the breathtaking views of the surrounding valley when I rode the open cable car at The Great Wall of China in Mutianyu. Who would not be terrified riding an open cable car? The attendant shoved me to the passing cable car seat because I froze when I saw that the open cable car has no safety belt.


At the Great Wall of China, there are many uneven surfaces, many steep stairs to climb and a lot of walking to do, add to that, the unmerciful Siberian wind blowing so strongly. I was catching my breath after only a few minutes of walking at The Great Wall of China in Mutianyu. But the view from the Great wall is simply amazing.


I learned that the Mutianyu (Chinese: 慕田峪; pinyin: Mùtiányù) is a section of the Great Wall of China located in Huairou County 70km northeast of Beijing. The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is connected with Jiankou in the west and Lianhuachi in the east. As one of the best-preserved parts of the Great Wall, the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall used to serve as the northern barrier defending the capital and the imperial tombs.


Built mainly with granite, the wall is 7-8 meters high and the top is 4-5 meters wide. Compared with other sections of Great Wall, Mutianyu Great Wall possesses unique characteristics in its construction. 

Mutianyu watchtowers are densely placed along this section of the Great Wall - 22 watchtowers on this 2,250-meter-long stretch. Both the outer and inner parapets are crenelated with merlons, so that shots could be fired at the enemy on both sides - a feature very rare on other parts of the Great Wall. 

The Mutianyu Pass consists of 3 watchtowers, one big in the center and two smaller on both sides. Standing on the same terrace, the three watchtowers are interconnected to each other inside and compose a rarely seen structure among all sections of Great Wall.


The view from one of the window of the tower is simply amazing.


Besides, this section of Great Wall is surrounded by woodland and streams. The forest-coverage rate is over 90 percent. The view is breathtaking and certainly an experience to remember.


Going down, I took advantage of Mutianyu's wheeled toboggan ride down from The Great Wall of China in Mutianyu on a winding metal track. 


Toboggan (luge) is definitely the way to go down from The Great Wall of Mutianyu. It's a great way to end a great day and this is suitable for everyone.


You'll be at the bottom before you know it. Definitely the fastest way down. I really really enjoyed this Toboggan ride down from The Great Wall of China in Mutianyu.


Want to save money? Go ahead and avail of the package ride of cable car going up and toboggan down for only 65 RMB or your toboggan ride down alone will cost you 50 RMB per person.


Weeee! I love the Toboggan ride, if only for it, I would be visiting the Great Wall again in the future!!! Two thumbs up for toboggan ride!!

This is the new logo of the DOT to promote the Philippines in the International Market. Akala ko tuloy may bagong Programa ang ABS-CBN, kapalit ng UMAGANG KAYGANDA! HA HA HA!

Tawa tayo ng tawa! Pero dyan sa logo na yan nakasalalay ang kinabukasan ng turismo ng atin bansa! It's a brand and we need to come out with the best possible logo so we can attract foreign visitors:-) Kung magmumukhang katatawanan ang logo natin, sino ang mahihikayat na pumunta at mamasyal sa ating bansa?

Pwede po tayong mag suggest di ba? Kasi sabi ni Pnoy, tayo ang Boss niya! 


My suggestion: Kesa po sa mga singers na dating nag pro promote ng Pilipinas bakit po hindi ninyo kunin si MANNY PACQUIAO bilang endorser. At dito na rin sana ganapin ang laban ni MANNY PACQUIAO vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. Tiyak papatok yan!

Mabuhay si Pacman! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!


Singing time with MANNY PACQUIAO


Manny singing si Felimon, may babae sa ilalim ng tulay etc.... ha ha ha! Just for fun po!

Pls click the video link below!


LIGHT MOMENTS with idol MANNY PACQUIAO

Kakatuwa talaga si idol! Ha ha ha!

Lai-Lai hotel Kota Kinabalu


We stayed @ Lai-Lai hotel. Sa pag check-in sa hotel need nila na mag deposit ka for your hotel room. RM 130, mas mahal siya compared sa Lavender lodge. Plus RM1 for the rent of cable for the internet connection. 


At may bayad kahit local call na pagtawag sa telepono, sobra!
NOTE: MANGLOLOKO SILA SA IBANG HOTEL FREE LANG ANG LOCAL CALL! THEY CHARGE ME RM47 FOR A LOCAL CALL, KALA KO KASI FREE KASI SA IBA FREE TALAGA ang LOCAL call!  YUN PALA MAY BAYAD!  NI WALANG NOTICE ANG KATWIRAN DI DAW AKO NAGTANONG! HA HA HA! KAYA YUN TELEPONO SA ROOM WAG NA WAG NINYO IANGAT BAKA PAGTAWAG NINYO SA RECEPTIONIST MA CHARGE KAYO!


Anyway I made this article to warn you on the exuberant charge for phone usage. Pero in fairness naman sa kanila. Okay na okay yun rooms nila, malinis, mabango, at reasonable na sa ganun rate. Pero kung nag titipid kayo meron mas mura like Lavender lodge, rainforest at marami pang iba, ha ha ha naikot ko KK eh sa sobrang liit.

AMANPULO


AMANPULO PALAWAN PHILIPPINES- So near and yet so far! Ordinary mortals like you and me could only dream staying in this place which they described as 
A private island, where sea and sky meet as one, where velvet white sand is caressed by the lap of crystal water, where palms bow to vermillion bougainvillea in tropically kissed vegetation, where nature’s hand streaks the sun’s iridescences on its unbridled canvas, where night skies are admired beside the crackle of a ‘tepee’ beach fire, where sleep is submerged in pristine white, where luxury is defined by its earth-given beauty, where peace embraces its island host. This place is Amanpulo, in thePhilippines, a realisation of a dream.

My Lucky friend L is a living testimony that nothing is really impossible in this world! Here is some of her snapshots in AMANPULO...

OH WHAT A LOVELY VIEW OF THE BEACH!! THE PHILIPPINES IS REALLY BLESSED!
Amanpulo rests on the Pamalican Island, about 360 kilometers southwest of Manila. Seven square kilometers of reef surround the island.
She took this photo on board a chartered plane that took them to AMANPULO PALAWAN from MANILA.  Guests fly directly to Pamalican Island in a 19-seat, twin engine turboprop, landing at the resort's private airstrip. Flight time is one hour.
Dry Season usually runs from November to May and the wet season with scattered rain showers from June until October.
Laze around in style

You have a view of the ocean when you eat here.

 Special credits to L Thanks for the wonderful pictures and story! If not for your photos and first hand experience I would not be able to come up with this article my dear friend L.
