Great wall of China, from Hong Kong -how?
Hi
My wife and I went to China in March this year nad we went to Beijing, Xi'an and Hong Kong. We found out that China is a pretty big country because the train from Beijing to Xi'an took about 12 hours and the flight from Xi'an to Hong Kong took about 2 hours. But you can of course go from Hong Kong to Beijing to see the wall but I think that you would have to use a couple of days to do this. And the tickets from HK to Beijing are not that cheap. We went to see the Great Wall at Simatai and it was amazing by the way. It was in March, the weather was beautiful and there were still a bit of snow left on the wall. And there were almost no one there because it was so early in the season :-) I have posted pictures and a long trip report from our trip to China on my homepage www.gardkarlsen.com. Maybe you can find some useful information there :-) Regards Gard Stavanger, Norway I'll be visiting Hong Kong, and I was wondering about taking a short trip over to mainland China, mainly only to see (and walk a bit around) the great wall of China. If I don't have money to burn, how do I get there (and back), and is it a short or long trip? In case it'll take more than a day's trip, are there cheap backpacker places there where I could stay the night?
