Panoramic view of a train from the Great Wall
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A panoramic view from a point along the ascent on the iconic Great Wall of China near Peking, showing a 7-car Diesel Multiple Unit with diesel locomotives at both ends (NDJ3 DMU) negotiating the tortuous route through Juyongguan Pass toward Beijing.
The Great Wall is a not to be missed by tourists to Beijing (formerly named Peking). The busy season here is from April to October, and the climb up the stairway to the watch towers on the route taken by me is quite steep and strenuous; and the steps have varying heights. However, the view from atop this section of the Wall is quite scenic, and well worth the effort involved to climb.
Built from the third century BC to the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644), the Great Wall stretches over 21,000 km. Over a four million tourists visit the Great Wall every year as it is the centre of China’s tourism.
