Travelogue: By Country | By Date China | July 2001  

 

In this section, the wall was almost entirely gone, leaving the end of the wall as a cliff which is atop another cliff. A local spends his days at the top of this section tending "his" ladder and a path around this section, charging people who wish a safer route. He presumably spends his nights tearing up this section to make it worse. (The Chinese may have too many people locked up, but this fellow is definitely one that they have foolishly overlooked.) Every other place, the Chinese people were helpful; this guy nearly pushed Tote down a cliff.
