The Great Wall of China by Kasenya

Previously on one of my other blogs, I talked about a backpack that I sit in. The backpack  is an old hiking pack that my dad converted into a Kasenya pack. I wore it for the first time ever when we went to see the Great Wall of China a couple of days ago. That backpack helps me go to places where my wheelchair cannot go, like up and down the many stairs of the Great Wall. The Great Wall is really old, and really long. We had to take a high cable car to get to the top of the wall. At first I was nervous, and then I was brave as  my Mom packed me around to see the Wall. 

When we were at the Wall it was foggy and the fog made everything look cool. The country side around the Great Wall is hilly and covered with flora (forest). It was hot out which wasn’t a bad thing.  

There is the wall and there are also guard towers for the Wall. The towers are part of the Great Wall and so we could walk along the Great Wall to get to them. I didn’t expect the towers to be part of the wall. Some of the wall is made out of granite blocks. 

Some other people told us that the Badaling part of the Wall was filled with tourists so, of course, we didn’t go there. Instead we went to another section called Mutianyu. 

I thought the wall would be colourful with banners but it was not what I would call colourful..
