Of all the Great Wall sites around Beijing, Sima Tai is the most 'original' -- the least
amount of modern restoration was done here. It took a 3-hour bus ride to get here, and the ascent from the bottom
of the hill to the walls perched on the ridge was steep. With heroic efforts, everyone including not-quite-3-year-old Emily
and almost-76-year-old grandpa climbed up!
