Great Wall, Simatai 2 - ascent

This section at Simatai is narrow, but steep.

In the 1950s, for example, Chinese leader Mao Zedong exhorted the masses to "allow the past to serve the present." Farmers were mobilized to demolish parts of the wall and use the bricks for building houses, pigpens, and walls.
