Had a holiday in China. April 2015. Wanted to visit the Great Wall. To start with we Didnt realise are hotel was right in the city with six lanes of traffic outside our hotel. Nothing else to do.
The journey to the Great Wall was 1 and 1/2 hours drive away for a start. When we arrived we were told by our guide that we had to pay for a ride in a cable car up to the wall. When we arrived we had to climb many steps that were almost vertical. Impossible in the heat. We were expecting to walk along a walkway that is pictured on our itinerary, and not climb dozens of steps. So disappointing as we were not able to go as far as we hoped.
So our next holiday we will look more carefully at exactly where we will be staying and how far away places are.
