| Tips |
 |
 |
Clothing:
The Great Wall was mainly built along the
ridges of steep mountains. Your clothes
should therefore be light, loose outdoor
sportswear suitable for mountaineering.
Your sportswear should be waterproof and
wind-resistant suitable for mountaineering.
It is also recommended that the fabric is
air-permeable to keep your body dry and
comfortable. |
| |
Foot
protection:
Different routes require different shoes.
Your feet will swell with the altitude and
heat, so be careful with new shoes. New
shoes may be uncomfortable; Hiking boots
or Tough waterproof trainers with good traction
and ankle support are recommended. Shoelaces
shouldn't be too loose or too tight; Socks
should be of moderate thickness, cotton
socks although soft and are sweat absorbent,
may cause blisters. Vaseline and grease
can be daubed on feet to ease the rubbing
and prevent blisters. If you do get a blister,
place antiseptic and an expandable band-aid
over the area - do not prick it!
|
| |
Sunburn
protection:
It is
very easy to get sun burnt in mountaineering
due to the altitude and strong ultraviolet
radiation. First, DO NOT expose yourself
to the sun, wear a hat and long loose
clothing. Secondly, about half an hour
before you start your journey, please
use a strong sun protection cream on all
exposed areas - don't forget the back
of your neck. Re-apply the protection
cream every couple of hour.

Water
Supply:
Water us essential for your trip. You should
drink plenty of fluids to replace the fluids
your body uses during exercise. You should
drink at least 100 ml every 30-40 minutes,
so pack half a liter for every hour you
intend to walk.
|
| |
Safety:
Traveling on the Great Wall can be exhausting
if you are not fit. Seniors and weaklings
are recommended to take it slowly and get
enough rest to appreciate the charming scenery
of the Great Wall. When touring to undeveloped
sites, do not climb onto insecure or damaged
sections as you may injure yourself and
damage the wall. Whilst taking pictures,
pay attention to barriers underfoot - many
people have come 'unstuck' during a lapse
of concentration. Just a reminder, always
pack a medical aid kit and extra camera
films!
