Hi,
While walking the Wall would be a great adventure it seems to me that since much of it is probably very remote and goes over rugged terrain you would be in real trouble if you got seriously hurt, more so if you were alone. Getting water may also be a problem in some areas I would guess. My guess is that the government probably has restrictions on what you want to do. Having an army of backpackers tromping over the Wall would not help in it's preservation. -- SteveO |

I read it at some time in China Daily internet edition. Contact the Chinese
Embassy but according to the article, no exceptions were to be made. Poul B-H "Saso Zagoranski" wrote in message ... Hi! Where did you read this? If I can find this then maybe I can get an address of someone who I need to write to, to get the necessary permits... thanks, saso svar_i_gruppen wrote in message . .. The official statement is that all parts are off limits, except those expressively allowed. This is to prevent deterioration caused by tourists, but also to prevent locals from creating housings in the wall or remove stones from it. Poul B-H "Saso Zagoranski" wrote in message ... Hi! I'm wondering whether it is possible to Walk the ENTIRE wall of China? I've read some pages that some people have already done it but they all mention some permits and restrictions... If so, where can I get more information regarding what I need? I guess this is a pretty crazy idea but it is (one) of my really big goals. I was thinking about doing this in about two years time, when I finish college. But there's no harm in starting to plan things ahead. Any ideas/help is appreciated Thanks, Saso |
