mile trip took 9 hours,but by 2012 the same trip will be only 4 hours.
Today was a relaxation day before a long week of meetings. Above you will
see some happenings around the city.

The 10 KM trek along the Great Wall from Jinshanling to Simatai is
especially challenging. The steps are treacherous, often with gradients of
80 degrees. One needs to be in top physical condition and not suffer
vertigo. The temperature today was no higher than 20 F ( -7 C) with a wind
howling down from Mongolia.
