I learned that going back to the wall for sunrise or sunset isn't an option, since it's only open from 9AM to 4PM in these areas near Beijing. So I'll have to take pictures in the city instead this week, since I'm working during those hours every day. I'm going to try to get over to the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square one of these days.

I enjoyed your pictures of the Great Wall even if you thought they weren't the best. Were the terra cotta like soldiers at the wall? I don't remember seeing them. Love, Mom Doug,
