[HD] Beijing Layover Tour + Great Wall Of China 2013
Beijing, China 2013
During my trip to the Philippines I had a 8 hour layover in Beijing China. Months before i made some research about the possibilty to have a short visit and to climb the Great Wall of China.
I contacted a Beijingers well-known driver and expert on layover tours names Joe! He was really funny and kind as well.
Got into Beijing without a Visa needed, for my 8 hour lay over!
It took us about 45 minutes to reach Mutianyu (Great Wall famous section) I walked around and climbed the Wall for 3 hours and took the toboggan going back down from the wall.
I could have spent more days instead of a short layover here in Beijing, coz i think Beijing or China in general has a lot of tourist attractions to be visited, thus im pretty sure 1 stopover tour is not enough.
Here's a summary of my short tour in Beijing!
Enjoy:)

THE STORY:
Yes. That is the Great Wall of China. No. It's not green screen.
Since ThePianoGuys began, it has been our impossible dream to put a grand piano on the Great Wall. People laughed at us when we said we were determined to do it. It is done. All of us at ThePianoGuys would like to //dediCate this music video to the visionary behind it all and the man whose dream this has always been: Paul Anderson.
It is difficult to detail each of the many miracles that were stitched together in time turning this dream into actuality. Master Oogway, himself, said, A destiny is not realized until we let go of the illusion of control. To say we made this happen.... Read the rest of the story here:

How long does it take to walk the Great Wall of China?
How long does it take to walk the Great Wall of China?
The main Great Wall of China stretches approximately 5,500 miles along the southern edge of Inner Mongolia. Explorer experts state that it takes 18 months to walk its entire length. It was constructed during the Ming dynasty in the 14th and 15th century, and is sometimes called the Ming Wall.

The Great Wall Of China - Unbelievable Secrets & Unknown Facts
This video takes you to a ride full of unbelievable secrets and unknown facts about The Great Wall Of China
First, there’s not just one wall, but many. The Great Walls of China, at least 16 of them, built over 2,400 years by successive emperors and dynasties. Total length: 21,000 km, three times longer than previously thought, longer than the distance between the poles.
The idea was the same as Hadrian’s, though: to keep out uncouth marauding neighbours from the north: Scots, Mongols, they’re much of a muchness. Here are some, reconstructed Mongols, galloping thunderingly on horseback and firing their bows. Ooch aye the noo, Genghis, good arrers.
So how did they come up with the new figures? Technology, that’s how: aerial mapping, satellite images, 3D models, GPS, laser scanning. And drones. The helicopter drone has become an essential piece of kit in the making of television documentaries like this; they breathe new life into the very ancient, using the very modern. These drones are good. They’re got five cameras and loads of mapping stuff – you can just fly them along the wall and they come back with everything you need to know about it.
Also required is a lot of martial music and a script full of drama and superlatives. It is “THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY feat of engineering in history”; “one of the MOST ICONIC man-made structures on the planet”; they’re using “GROUNDBREAKING science” and “CUTTING EDGE chemistry” to uncover the enigma at the heart of the WORLD’S GREATEST MEGASTRUCTURE”.
Always good to get a megastructure, a mega-something, anyway, in there. Basically it’s awesome. If the Great Wall(s) of China was a creature that swam in the sea in would be a great white shark, an APEX PREDATOR.
I could do with less hyperbole. It doesn’t need it; it’s interesting enough in its own right. What else have they discovered, then, using all their groundbreaking science, technology and code-breaking? That they had a complex signalling system, early Chinese semaphore, to warn of attack. A red flag up the pole meant 50 Xiongnu coming. Three red flags? 200 Xiongnu coming. Big bonfire? 1,000 Xiongnu coming, etc. Xiongnu were terrifying early raiders – early Scots, basically. Big bonfire, squeaky bum time, in other words.
My favourite thing about the wall, and about the programme, comes from the CUTTING EDGE science. Top chemistry professor and expert in ancient building materials Dr Xiang has taken samples from the Ming dynasty wall, which was built after the Mongols – who had occupied China for over a century – were finally sent packing. He has found that the secret of the Ming wall’s strength and longevity lies not in the bricks but in the mortar. The whitish colour of the mortar was said, in legend, to be because it was made from ground-up human bones. Not so, says Xiang. The secret ingredient that went into the mortar, kept the WORLD’S GREATEST MEGASTRUCTURE standing for hundreds of years? Sticky rice. Isn’t that great? Take note, modern brickies: a sprinkle of rice in the mortar and it’ll last for ever; Ben’s your uncle.

US-China Fight Scenario: Would China's Military Fight a Great Wall in Reverse?
US-China Fight Scenario: Would China's Military Fight a Great Wall in Reverse?
Suppose the United States and its allies erect a “Great Wall in reverse,” deploying anti-ship, anti-aircraft, and anti-submarine armaments on and around the islands constituting the first island chain.
China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) will not submit meekly while the allies curb its freedom of movement between its home waters and the Western Pacific. Instead, PLA soldiers, sailors, and aviators will try to puncture, outflank, or otherwise nullify the wall, regaining access to the wider world. They must—lest China forfeit the export and import trade that underwrites its “dream” of prosperity and national dignity, not to mention its capacity to project military might outside its immediate environs. But how?
Peering through a glass darkly now may help the allies discern what the red team may do. In turn, foresight may help them get ahead in the inevitable next round of strategic competition, devising countermeasures to defeat PLA efforts to defeat the wall. And on and on the competition will go.

Nothing Miraculous about It: China's Economic Growth and Great Wall of Debt
The Chinese economy is extraordinarily difficult to understand, for foreign and Chinese observers alike. Within the same prestigious financial papers, on the same day, readers are informed that China is an unstoppable economic juggernaut and that it is headed for the netherworld in handbaskets of corruption, pollution, and mismanagement.
Fortunately, former Wilson Fellow and Wall Street Journal Reporter Dinny McMahon has written China’s Great Wall of Debt, a vivid guide how China’s economic challenges stymie the Chinese government, and how they shape the lives of ordinary citizens. His cautionary tales make the book required reading for anyone who studies China’s political economy, who invests in China, or who analyzes Chinese investments in the U.S. and around the world.

Beijing, China ???????? and The Great Wall
Although China was used as the gateway country to our travels in SE Asia, we were able to enjoy some good food, made some friends, and see the Great Wall of China.
Tips:
You can save money by taking the subway trains and the bus. However, the last bus leaves at 12pm! We bargained with a driver to take us the great wall after catching the subways to the bus station. It actually worked out great for us! We arrived in the evening before the sun set, and there were NO CROWDS!!! We truly lucked up.

I am uploading videos to personally document my travels. I am not a professional vlogger (clearly) by no means... haha
Trekking the Great Wall (Full Documentary)
One of the world’s greatest engineering and military marvels, The Great Wall of China still holds many mysteries. British writer and historian William Lindesay takes viewers to the most remote parts of China's national monument as he explores traces of the wall across the country. He spends thousands of days walking the wall and questions peasants, herders, experts and scholars in a bid to learn how long the Great Wall is.
