  1. #FotoVorschlag - Touri-Hotspot

    Photo theme - tourist hotspot

    There are people who will say you should avoid tourist hotspots but tourist hotspots are usually hotspots for a good reason.

    From our honeymoon in 2008, here's the Great Wall of China just north of Beijing. Very few of us westerners were there at this time so we were almost as interesting to the Chinese tourists as the wall and landscape itself.

  4. Oldest section of China’s Great Wall discovered, pushing back its origin by 300 years

    Archaeologists have unearthed what is now believed to be the earliest section of the Great Wall of China, predating previous estimates by approximately 300 years. This section dates back to the late Western Zhou Dynasty (1046 BCE–771 BCE) and the early Spring and Autumn Period (770 BCE–476 BCE)...

  5. Whenever I miss Beijing, I go through my archives and try to find a photo to edit. This photo has been with me for a bit over 4 years, but I never felt like I had gotten the edit right. I finally found one that works for me during one of my nostalgia searches.

    I snapped this photo while scouting the Gubei Watertown for a photography workshop that I ran about a month before I moved away in 2020

  7. Walking the Great Wall, may light a beacon or two later and declare "Now all of China knows you're here", possibly depends on whether Shan Yu shows up or not, don't know, let's see. #GreatWallOfChina #Mulan #tourism

  8. Mostly because I shared this on Instagram today as well.

    This is the Great Wall of China, taken on the second day of our honeymoon in 2008, which was also the second day of the very first time we'd left the country to travel together. We've done a fair bit of travelling since but this is still one of the most impressive sights we've had the luck and utter joy to experience.

  9. Good morning... still one of my favorite shots of the Great Wall. My best friend and I would bike to this section of the wall on a regular basis. It became our 'Blue Remembered Hills' and we have often quoted the Housman poem to each other as we missed this life we had been blessed to live.

  12. Enjoying posting along with some of the photo themes here on Mastodon, and I'm also posting several from the same trip to Asia today, it seems, although not intentionally.

    This is for #SundayPixRedThings and it's the #flag of #China in front of The Great Wall. This was taken in 2008 in the popular Badaling section of the wall north of Beijing.
