Excursion to Tianjin, Beidaihe and Shanhaiguan 3

Near Shanhaiguan is the start of the Great Wall with a rather interesting museum. Shanhaiguan is still fully walled and in recent years was renovated/reconstructed to make it attractive for tourism, and it appears to have worked...

  The Great Wall near Shanhaiguan... as it was quite hot, the cable car didn't work, I decided to be lazy and let the camera doing the climbing...




...the unrestored/reconstructed parts of the wall looking towards the sea...


The lower cable car station...


Drum Tower....


These also are remnants of the Wall...


...on the beach...


The entrance to the old garrison near the sea...


 Reconstructed but still nice, I think,...





...soldiers' quarters
