The Gubeikou Great Wall (古北口长城) is one section Great Wall surrounding Beijing, which is not open for tourists, but famous for backpackers who love hiking. I have been there not the first time, and every time, I find I love it more while I keep in touch with it more deeply, it is original and unique. Of course, go camping on the Great Wall is best choice to know it!
In this gallery, there are some photos that I took last month while it first snowed on the Gubeikou Great Wall. With these pictures, we have a chance to get to know them, ask questions of them. Their version of beauty and power won`t change with time.

I was at Gubeikou last week and was surprised at the solitude of the place after the climb on that narrow path and up those disjointed stone steps. Someone had the courtesy of occasionally making a path to the sides of the steps, which made the climb easier.
I am looking for a certain view that I thought was at Gubeikou, but I think I was mistaken.
I have an old photograph of the view that I want to replicate.
Since it seems that you are more familiar with the Great Wall, perhaps you can help me. I can email you the image if you are interested.
Thanks,
Peter
