2/18 & 2/20 hiking trips

Fortunately, Sunday & Tuesday were "blue sky" days, great days for outings with the Beijing Hikers Club. Follow the links below for photos from the trips.

Sunday, we went to Ya Ji Shan, where we hiked up to a Daoist Temple and beyond. Ya Ji Shan is in Ping Gu County, outside of Beijing.


Tuesday, we went to the JianKou area of the Great Wall in Huai Rou County. We walked the "Upside Down Flying Eagle" portion near Xi Zha Zi village. Apparently a British man who is legendary in the area for walking the whole Great Wall bought a house in this village because he proclaimed this region of the Wall the most beautiful. It is also near the "Chinese Knot" or "Beijing Knot", a spot where three parts of the Wall come together.
