7/5 - 7/6 Yíhé Yuán and the Great Wall

7/5 Free Day - Summer Palace (Yíhé Yuán)

First break day since the beginning of the trip. I had an incredible conversation with Junho and Alex about the identity of being a minority and multiracial in America.

7/6 - Great Wall and Break Day

Climbed Climbed and Climbed some more. Made it to the top. It would’ve been better if the day had not been as smoggy, but it was a fun trek up the wall. In the west we have this idea that the wall is just a winding path, but in reality it is incredibly steep.

So Steep!
