Today was my first full day in Beijing and I took advantage of what it had to offer by booking myself on a tour of the Great Wall.
I heard that it was possible to access the wall as there was a lift there, the wall wasn't accessible just the cable car station.
I needed help to get up the hill that lead up to the station which was really steep and full of cobble stones making an ascent on my own impossible.
Getting out of the cable car at the top I was gutted to see more steps leading up to the viewing platform, I wasn't about to give up on this though so I lifted myself up about 50 steps to get some access to some incredible views.
