Good morning, you guys, from the Great Wall of China.
Can you believe we're here?
No, I cannot.
It is our last day here in China,
and we are ending our trip with a bang,
with, of course, a trip to the Great Wall.
How cool is that?
Super excited.
We're about to get on a chairlift to go up.
We had a private driver this morning, which we hired.
We booked it through Get Your Guide.
It made it so easy.
There are so many different ways
you can visit the Great Wall,
but I found this one to be one of the more convenient ones
for our quick trip, so I'll leave the link down below
if you guys are interested.
He was super sweet, too.
He bought our tickets beforehand,
so we don't have to wait in line.
We're about to head up on a chairlift.
I'm excited.
Yeah, let's go.
Bye, bye, bye, thank you, bye.
Ah, okay.
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
Thank you.
Oh, gosh, that was terrifying.
Okay, here we go, up to the Great Wall.
Didn't think we were gonna have it to ourselves.
No.
I guess if we get here early enough,
I think it opens at eight.
We're actually here at like 9.15,
so imagine if we got here right at opening, too.
There it is.
Yeah.
It's weird that there's nobody around, right?
I know, I really felt like it was going to be so packed.
There's, we are the only people on this chairlift.
Insane views.
It was a short ride, but very pretty.
There's the Great Wall over here.
This is me out.
I did not expect all of these mountains.
It is so beautiful up here.
We got so lucky with the weather.
It's like perfectly 75 degrees sunny.
And clear.
Can you believe we're at the Great Wall?
No, it's unbelievable.
The Great Wall of China.
It's so surreal, because it's like a place
you hear about your whole life.
And we're here, on a random Monday morning.
What?
We decided to visit the Men Tian Yu,
Men Tian Yu section of the wall.
It's supposed to be one of the most well-preserved
and beautiful sections of the wall.
Although, it does attract over one million visitors a year.
Which is wild.
But there are busier sections of the wall.
Oh my gosh, it looks so scary when you come over the edge.
It's just like, go straight down.
I love your dress.
Thank you.
Wow, there are so many great views,
no matter where you're looking at.
So it's kind of crazy.
It took over 2,000 years to build this wall.
And it's over 21,000 kilometers long.
Making it the largest man-made project in the world.
It's so amazing that nobody else is here.
There's like a handful of other people around.
It's just making me so excited to be here.
Come here.
Look.
That was steep.
My knees are a little bit shaky.
So much for the little steps.
Oh my gosh, I know, they turn into big ones.
It's literally like climbing.
So out of breath, but so worth these views.
Nice workout.
Yeah, so basically,
you're coming up on the cable car or the chairlift.
You're gonna be coming up with other people.
But if you just walk like 20 minutes in either direction,
you have the wall all to yourself.
Everything is so beautiful,
but it's hard to imagine what it looks like
when everything's in bloom and green,
because it's pretty dry up here right now.
It is so steep.
When you can put your feet and your hands
on the stairs at the same time.
It's like climbing.
Wow.
You're going down.
It's a lot steeper than it looks, people.
So much steeper.
They're so deep and steep,
and it's like you're like,
like literally you just took one step
where you could just like fall down.
Quick I am.
Thank you so much, I appreciate it.
Perfect.
Back on top where we started.
I think we're out of view, though.
Sammy's too scared to turn around.
It's like you're hurting sick.
This way.
Kitty on the wall.
We found a good spot for a ninja.
I know we keep saying, how cool is this?
But really, how amazing is this?
So much history here, too.
It's just, you can almost feel it's so ancient, you know?
Yeah, walking on the Great Wall of China.
It's like a super bucket list item.
It is, we're so blessed.
I still can't believe it or comprehend it, you know?
I know, so fun.
God, wow.
Love it.
The reason we chose to come to this section of the wall
is because it's a little bit further away from Beijing,
a little bit harder to get to.
There's the public transportation
that goes to the Badaling section of the Great Wall.
That section gets a little bit more crowded.
So I just wanted to update you guys
on why we chose this section in particular,
in addition to the fact that it is the most well-preserved
and most beautiful section.
And they have so many watchtowers, too,
which is pretty rare.
Yeah, the watchtowers are actually so cool.
And as the day's warming up,
you can go inside the watchtowers and cool down.
They're really nice and breezy and shady in there.
Okay, you ready for the exciting ride down?
Yes, so we rode up on the chairlift,
and you can ride down on the toboggan.
Toboggan?
Toboggan.
Oh my goodness, people.
What is it called?
Stop, seriously.
Toboggan.
There's no gone.
It's just toboggan.
Toboggan.
Okay.
Let's do that.
Toboggan.
Okay.
This is gonna be a good day.
Rolling on like a dunder,
Open eyes full of wonder.
It's a good day.
How fun was the toboggan ride?
Oh my gosh.
That was so much fun.
I loved it whenever we were going so fast around those corners.
Hey guys, top tip for the toboggan ride is when you get up there they try to rush you
through.
They're like, go, go, go, but if one person's slow in front of you, which it was for us,
you had to like go super slow the whole way.
So you act dumb.
You're like, go?
What?
Huh?
You just delay as long as you can.
And then look at the people in front of you.
If it looks like they're going to go slow, let more people go until you get a good group
that's going to go fast, but so much fun.
So sadly this is our last video in China.
Wow.
Such an amazing time though.
I feel like those four days went by so fast and it's definitely makes us want to come
back, right?
Yeah.
We got the, like the perfect little taste of the country that makes us want to explore
more.
Yes.
You guys get here early.
It's like 1140 now and there are so many more people here.
It's pretty wild.
Yeah.
We love you guys.
Thank you guys for watching.
Hope you guys enjoyed this series.
Can't wait to show you more and where we're going to next.
