Today we go to the GREAT WALL OF CHINA! It’s still a pinch-me feeling that we actually hiked along this wonder of the world! And when we say HIKE…woah what a hike - we were feeling it in our legs for days after! This wall is steeeeep!

It was one of the best things we have ever done and will never forget the feeling of being up there with those incredible views! We did the Jinshanling section of the wall which is slightly more remote, but with views that cannot be beaten. And there was hardly anyone there! It felt so special.

This might be one of our favourite vlogs we’ve ever made, and one of the best things we have ever done on our travels! Come along with us! Talk about views 😍😍😍
