Jinshangling is a great location to explore the Great Wall. Large parts of the wall are nicely restored. At the entry is a little hostel which is perfect as starting point.

Best time for photography is at sunrise. About 30-40 minutes must be planned to climb to the best spot. So starting at night about 40 min. befor sunrise is recommended (lamp is a must).

Hi Frank, Are you in Beijing? My husband and I both like to take photo. Interested in getting together?

Frank 10.12.2016

Hi Phuong, Thanks for your offer to get together. I was in Beijing April/May just for business. But I go again in January (maybe). I can let you know when I know the details.

Hi Phuong, Just to let you know: I am going to Beijing again next week, but just for 2 days and I will be very busy for business. I fear I have no time for taking photos.

Hi Frank, No problem! The pollution is quite bad in Beijing since I came back from the US for the Christmas Holiday. I have not been out at all to take photos.
