Standing on the Great Wall under a Blazing Sun

On June 23, photographers visited the Great Wall. According to the original plan, the group should leave the hotel in the early morning without breakfast to enjoy the morning light on the Great Wall. We would distribute a food package as breakfast and lunch. However, the departure time was put off till 7:30 to finish breakfast at the hotel in consideration of the physical exertion required to climb the Wall.

The food package with water, snacks, pancake, spiced eggs, beef, tofu products, tissue and a spare plastic bag was distributed to each room in the evening of June 22.

Mutianyu Great Wall is a challenge to some photographers. The hot temperature makes it more difficult. It is nearly noon when the group arrived at the Great Wall and the returning time is 3 in the afternoon. They should finish the trip during the hottest period during a day. It requires courage and real physical strength.

For them, it is a good chance to photograph the Great Wall, but it is more fun to share photos with photographer friends in this group. Some of them are really experienced photography teachers.
